10 Symptoms of Compartment Syndrome
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #5: Muscle Tightness
Athletes are quite likely to know all about stiffness in the muscles. It is something that is likely to occur when they are not in particularly good physical shape. It can sometimes take some rest, or maybe a good massage, to release the tightness. If you have compartment syndrome, tightness of the muscles is a common symptom.
This tightness can be uncomfortable and can also restrict the patient’s movement. Patients can also experience bruising in the area and also possibly swelling. It is something that you should arrange to get checked out by a medical professional if the symptoms persist.
