Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve in the wrist becomes compressed due to inflammation and swelling of the tendons in the carpal tunnel. This can lead to symptoms such as pain, numbness, and weakness in the hand and arm. Treatment may involve rest, splinting, and in some cases, surgery.
The three compartments of the knee are the medial compartment (inner side of the knee), lateral compartment (outer side of the knee), and the patellofemoral compartment (front of the knee where the kneecap articulates with the thigh bone).
Though not as common, restless arm syndrome is similar to restless leg syndrome -- an extreme urge to reposition a limb or limbs, then the repositioning doesn't seem to help.I am an MD and I have restless arm syndrome related to stress ( I lost my job; yes MDs can lose jobs), and to eating large meals at night. As with most "syndromes" (= "we" health care professionals don't know much about the cause). The cures are multiple and different cures work for different people.This is a fairly comprehensive website:http://www.mothernature.com/Library/Bookshelf/Books/47/113.cfmLow magnesium to calcium ratio may also be a cause. Magnesium tends to relax muscles; calcium to contract them. Occasionaluse of sleep aids may help, including the benzodiazepine class (eg, Valium, which is a muscle relaxant). Soma, Skelaxin, Baclofen, and Flexeril are other muscle relaxors and are non-addicting. Some of these drugs work in the brain to relax muscles. They can make you sleepy and should only be used before bed until you can gauge the effects.
Individuals with Cri du Chat syndrome carry a deletion on the short arm of chromosome 5, specifically the region known as 5p15.2. This deletion leads to developmental and intellectual disabilities as well as characteristic facial features associated with the syndrome.

Elevate the leg, and don't walk a lot. Call 911. The leg could have increased swelling and lead to compartment syndrome, which could in turn lead to amputation.
Fasciotomy is the medical term meaning surgical treatment of compartment syndrome.
The helicopter could not elevate enough to clear the hill. His plan was to elevate his concept into an international program. If you elevate an injured arm or leg, you can reduce the blood flow.

Compartment syndrome occurs when excessive pressure builds up inside an enclosed space in the body. Compartment syndrome usually results from bleeding or swelling after an injury. The high pressure impedes the flow of blood to and from the affected tissues and could be an emergency requiring immediate surgery.
Compartment syndrome is a condition which occurs after an injury. Information about this condition can be obtained online at: The EMT Spot, Web MD and Global Genes.
Compartment syndrome is not typically considered to be hereditary. It is more commonly associated with acute trauma or overuse injuries that lead to increased pressure within a muscle compartment, restricting blood flow and potentially causing damage to tissues. Genetics may play a role in an individual's susceptibility to certain conditions that can contribute to compartment syndrome, but it is not considered a directly hereditary condition.

To elevate your arm above the heart for optimal recovery and healing, you can use a pillow or cushion to prop up your arm while lying down or sitting. This helps reduce swelling and improve blood flow to the injured area, promoting faster healing.
