Acute compartment syndrome occurs when the pressure within the fibro-osseous space increases to a level that decreases tissue perfusion of the components of the compartment leading to muscle edema, ischemia, and necrosis. The upper extremity contains 15 compartments from the shoulder to the tips of the fingers

How do they test for it?

Skin color	Paleness of the skin
Temperature	Differing temperatures between limbs, with the affected side being cooler

Compartment syndrome is diagnosed based on a physical exam and history, and is often treated with an emergent fasciotomy.

You got me curious
The person is behaving very strangely. Sometimes I think people who get all trollie are former members come back with new names to annoy those they're mad at.

We had one acting odd in the feed section for a while who, on their personal profile page, was randomly commenting to themselves a running tally of "bullies" with the score (always in his own favor).
