A member asked:
I have compartment syndrome in both my legs and arms. my doctors can not seem to figure out the cause. is there underlying causes to this syndrome?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely: It is very doubtful that you have compartment syndrome, as this does not affect the legs and arms simultaneously. Exercise induced compartment syndrome involves the legs in athletes, during running. If you have swelling in your arms and legs, you probably have some other generalized condition and should see a doctor about this.
