Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #10: Paralysis
Most of us are fortunate enough to be born with the full function of the muscles in our body. This is very important to us as it allows us to move, while muscles also help with other functions in the body. There are certain illnesses, though, that can cause us to lose the ability to move our muscles.
The pressure caused by compartment system can lead to physical damage to the nerves and muscles. This can lead to paralysis of the muscle, and this will usually indicate permanent damage. Such symptoms are a sign that the condition is at a very serious stage and that you should seek emergency medical assistance if you have not done so already.
