Normally a throbbing pain in the lower extremeties, felt after a few minutes continuous exercise and causing the sufferer to stop exercise. The lower leg is divided into four compartments; anterior compartment, deep posterior compartment, superficial posterior compartment and the lateral compartment.
If the amount of blood entering the compartment exceeds the amount being transported away, then compertment syndrome occurs. It is merely a build up of pressure inside one of the compartments, due to a collapse in the blood vessels that take blood away from the muscles and back to the heart.
If you are suffering from this, see a myotherapist to have it treated asap, as it will continue to interupt your training.
