  | Compartment Syndrome. I had a non-diving accident yesterday involving an impact to my lower leg, and the doc warned me to keep an eye out for Compartment Syndrome. I have looked up the symptoms, but no time period is mentioned [no problems yet after 30 hours and counting], how long should I be looking for symptoms? I take it that the Sun/Mon 35m max dive trip is out as well  Thanks in advance.

Once the swelling in all parts of the injured area is going down rather than getting worse, and you've had no problems, I'd stop worrying about it.I have looked up the symptoms, but no time period is mentioned [no problems yet after 30 hours and counting], how long should I be looking for symptoms?
