Decompression sickness (the bends)
Decompression sickness, also known as ‘the bends’, is usually experienced because of change in pressure. For instance, divers experience ‘the bends’ if they ascend through the water too quickly and it can also happen while flying in unpressurised aircraft or spacecraft.
Symptoms of decompression sickness vary and may include the mildest such as joint pain and rash, to the more severe paralysis and death.
It is called ‘the bends’ because bending the leg or the arm relieves the pain in the joint area.
