the bends
b. the bends: the acute attacks of pain in muscles and joints suffered on over-rapid reduction of the surrounding air pressure, chiefly by workers in compressed air who are decompressed too quickly, with consequent liberation of dissolved nitrogen from the body tissues. Also, more loosely, the whole disease (also called caisson-disease) produced by decompression.
