A case of exercise induced rhabdomyolysis from calf raises
Journal Title: World Journal of Emergency Medicine - Year 2017, Vol 8, Issue 3
Abstract
A 27-year-old male presented to the emergency department with acute exercise induced rhabdomyolysis (EIR) following low intensity, high repetition physical activity. It is paramount for the clinician to consider this diagnosis in the differential of the patient presenting with a complaint of musculoskeletal pain. This case highlights the necessity of staying vigilant for a condition that can develop with seemingly minor, repetitive training of a single muscle group, such as in the exercise of calf raises.
