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 exertional compartment syndrome. Overview. Chronic exertional compartment syndrome is an exercise-induced muscle and nerve condition that causes pain, swelling and sometimes disability in the affected muscles of your legs or arms. Anyone can develop the condition, but it's more common in athletes who participate in activities that involve repetitive impact, such as running.
Anterior compartment syndrome can be acute or chronic. Acute compartment syndrome is sudden onset and causes considerable pain. It is often due to an injury or impact to the big tibialis anterior muscles at the front of the leg which swells up. Chronic anterior compartment syndrome comes on gradually and may be due to the muscle growing too big for the sheath surrounding it.
