Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) is the most studied and the most widely used essential oil. (10) Lavender is so versatile I like to call it the âSwiss army knifeâ of essential oils â there are few things it isnât good for! Itâs also one of the most gentle essential oils and is safe to apply to the skin directly. (11)
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.
By far the most common cause, however, is fracture of a long bone. Fractures of the tibia and forearm bones account for most cases. Compressive dressings and casts can also cause compartment syndrome, as in the first case reported by Volkmann. Compartment syndrome can occur within any semirigid anatomic space within the body. The lower leg is the site most frequently affected, followed by the forearm. However, gluteal, hand, foot, upper arm, thigh, and back compartment syndromes can also occur.
