I almost died last year from Rhabdomyolosis. Mine was caused by my heart medicine Rosuvastatin. It was awful. It took a month to get better.

When my son was in MIDDLE school he had this. He played baseball and got it from too extreme of a workout. His presented as one arm swelling pretty significantly. Scary.

I know someone who got it after a single session with a personal trainer. He wasn't physically fit for anything beyond complete beginner level, but the trainer pushed him a little, and that turned out to be too much.
