Electronic – arduino – Can’t modify global variables in interrupt, despite having declared them volatile

I can't seem to get my global variables (low, high) to change inside my interrupt, despite having declared them volatile. Below is my code.

I find it strange that I can modify my global variable 'change' but modifications to 'low' and 'high' don't seem to work. I know for sure that my interrupt is being completed, since the text is reprinting to the LCD display, just that the numbers aren't being modified.

I marked out the most relevant locations with "HERE" where I think that the problem is most likely at. I also tested whether it's just because the variable turn is always 0 by adding code at the end of the ISR to see whether the global variables change or not. They don't.
