10 Symptoms of Compartment Syndrome
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #3: Severe Pain
Any injury is likely to cause some degree of pain. Even the smallest of cuts and scratches can cause some discomfort, although they should pass before too long. Of course, larger injuries are likely to cause more pain, but some injuries can be more painful than you might expect.
Compartment syndrome is often caused when an injury takes place. Patients that do develop compartment syndrome are likely to experience pain that is considerably greater than they would expect for the injury they have received. Such pain should encourage you to go to a doctor to find out what the problem is.
