Compartment Syndrome

[SocioMachiavelli]

I have it in both calves, mine is chronic and is onset by exertion. They ache in a very extreme manner, pain radiates around the front to the shin area and sometimes the only thing that doesn't hurt beneath the knee is the actual shin bone. This fades after reducing my level of activity but can come back on very quickly even when walking up a slight incline.

However, the symptoms are similar to popliteal artery entrapment and that would need ruling out as well as this can cause an increased pressure reading but the symptoms are a result of the entrapment.

Anything else you'd like to know?

Can you describe the pain

Dead achy feeling but also like my legs are being crushed, which is essentially what is happening
