Chronic compartment syndrome, often caused by overuse. injuries, is commonly treated at UW Health. In these cases, prevalent among athletes, there is an injury to the muscles. which causes uncontrollable swelling, isolated muscle. cramping and pain that lasts for several hours or days, and. is not relieved by medication or elevation. Dr. Turnipseed. notes that chronic compartment syndrome is often diagnosed.
Compartment syndrome can occur in many areas of the body, but the most common location is in the calf. The lower leg is divided into four compartments - anterior, lateral, posterior and deep posterior. Compartment syndrome is caused by increased pressure within one, two or all the compartments of the lower leg. The increased pressure within the lower leg compresses against very important structures including nerves, arteries and veins.
