Compartment syndrome MRI results

Hello all, I just got back into gym after long layoff. I over did it and belive I have compartment syndrome.  Doctor first wanted MRI of both lower legs.  Here are the results, your opinion is welcome and needed.  Thank you very much. 

MR RIGHT LEG

T1 axial, coronal and PD/T2 weighted sagittal images obtained with spin echo technique. STIR axial coronal images also performed. Comparison made with 8/1/2017 radiographs.

The bones demonstrate normal marrow signal intensity on all pulse sequences. Focal mild subcutaneous edema is identified adjacent to the anteromedial cortex of the tibia extending from the junction of the proximal and middle third distally. This spares the medial malleolus. Mild subcutaneous edema overlies the peroneal musculature distally terminating at the level of the malleolus. There is no evidence for periostitis. No evidence for a muscle strain or contusion. No appreciable muscle edema or fatty infiltration to suggest denervation change. The Achilles tendon is intact. No other significant findings.

MR LEFT LEG

T1 axial coronal images obtained with turbo spin echo technique. PD/T2 weighted sagittal images obtained with spin echo technique. STIR axial and coronal images also obtained. Comparison made with the 1 2017 radiographs.

The bones demonstrate normal marrow signal intensity on all pulse sequences. No appreciable periostitis to suggest stress related osseous injury. Minimal edema is identified peripherally in the medial aspect of the soleus muscle approximating the posterior medial cortex of the tibia perhaps representing mild tibial stress syndrome. This is situated in the mid calf. There is no evidence for a discrete muscle strain. The musculature of the anterior compartment has a normal appearance. No appreciable fatty infiltration to suggest atrophy. The Achilles tendon is unremarkable.
