What is Rhabdo (or Rhabdomyolysis)? According to Wikipedia, it is the "... rapid breakdown (lysis) of skeletal muscle (rhabdomyo) due to injury to muscle tissue." In other words, it is the continuous muscle injury due to a muscle injury (of the tissue). But how and why does this happen?
Anything that destroys muscle tissue can cause this condition. It could be physical like being injured in a disaster like an earthquake or it could be non-physical like getting poisoned by a snake.
