10 Symptoms of Compartment Syndrome
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #6: Muscle Bulging
Many people like to work out with an emphasis on lifting heavy weights. This helps them to grow their muscles, and some people can become very muscly indeed. This is often done for sports, while some people just like to do so for aesthetics. While bulging muscles are often seen as a good thing, they can also be a sign that something is wrong.
Compartment syndrome can cause the patient’s muscles to bulge more than they should when relaxed. This can be visibly noticeable, even in people that do not work out regularly. It is a clear sign that something is probably wrong and should encourage you to get it checked out.
