Compartment Syndrome?
Posted , 4 users are following.
When i start gaining any kind of fitness i start suffering with terrible pain in my calves, which also includes numbness and pins and needles starting in my big toes and if i continue to exercise the numbness extends up to around mid calf. I don't do any kind of strenuous exercise and this occurs when i am just walking. Sometimes it feels like my calves will explode and they are so solid.
I was referred for the CS test but although the results were slightly elevated the consultant didn't think they were enough to suggest CS. This is affecting my life and as simple things like shopping i cant do without being in pain. When i read up about CS my symptons seem to be text book for it but if the test came back negative then i just dont know what to do.
Any help, advice and assistance would be great as i am at my wits end and im only 28 and of average height and weight.
Thanks
Laura

I have had similar symptoms for a while , and can empathise , I have spent a lot of time researching , the internet and trying to explain my symtoms to different specialists , which have as you say a debilitating effect on your life . Can you please let me know if you have any other symptoms , for instance any other muscle pains , does it feel like its muscular or cramping ? (With myself , stretching is impossible) , The place to start is Google compartment syndrome , nuerotic claudication, verses claudication (blood supply ) .You could try supliments like magnesium , anyway let me know , anyway let me know , it nice to know that you are not on your own , take care . fweeler
