The classical symptoms of compartment syndrome are pain, paresthesia (numbness or tingling), pressure (swelling or tightness), and pulselessness. Pinkness of the affected area is not a classical symptom and paraplegia (paralysis of the lower body) is not typically associated with compartment syndrome unless it is caused by severe pressure in the affected area.
