Guide To The Symptoms Of Rhabdomyolysis

Swelling

Swelling is one of the potential symptoms of rhabdomyolysis, though it's not one of the classic symptoms. Instead, the swelling tends to be a side effect of a traumatic injury that lead to the condition. While possible, it's less common to see swelling in cases involving indirect injury to the muscles. Crush injuries are the most likely to involve swelling. These injuries are often sustained by individuals in automobile accidents, workplace accidents, or sporting accidents. As the name implies, they cause the muscle fibers to be crushed and die. Swelling inside the muscle can cause compartment syndrome, which occurs when pressure builds up, causing the nerves and muscles and blood vessels surrounding the injured area to become compressed. Each tissue grouping is called a compartment.
