Compression syndrome

Pain in muscles after strenuous exercise.


A collection of symptoms caused by pressure on a nerve or nerves that supply the muscles and carry sensations from a particular area of the body. Symptoms of a compression syndrome include weakness, numbness, tingling, and pain. Carpal tunnel syndrome (compression of the median nerve at the wrist) is by far the most common compression syndrome. Possible treatments for a compression syndrome include identifying and avoiding the activity that contributes to the problem and wearing a splint. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are often recommended to reduce inflammation. If symptoms are severe or persistent, surgery may be needed to relieve the pressure on the nerve.
