Hello,

my girlfriend attended the pool part of her CMAS * course 2 days ago and now still has pain in the joints of her hand. Could this be decompression-related? She was spending around 2.5 hours total under water, but never deeper than 5m.

What should she do, could this be dangerous?
 
cnhoff:

I seriously doubt that these gas loads could result in joint-pain DCS. More likely, the diving experience (or some other activity at the same time) caused a sprain or strain. This might be casued by climbing out of the pool.

Concur with Dr. Deco's suggestion. Also hand related DCI is almost unknown, its extremely vascularized.

Ocular disturbance after decompression diving, that is now my norm even though I’ve had 15yrs of tech diving, interested to hear from Medics.
