Compartment Syndrome

[SocioMachiavelli]

This is definitely a nerve issue.
Idk if its compartment but the pain is basically isolated and as if someone dumped molte metal on my muscle. Its like its imaginary. It a bur and really cant be described any other way. I rub it when it hurts and it has zero efffect on the pain like it would if that spot were actually damaged. I simply dont get it.

Is this brought on with exercise or always like this? If it is always like this even without exercise and it was compartment syndrome this would be acute and not chronic... you'd need to get to the ER otherwise you'd be losing the leg. https://orthoinfo.aaos.org/en/diseas...ment-syndrome/

If it is exercise induced this can also be a cause of a nerve issue but it isn't usually a medical emergency.

If you already know this then I apologise in advanced as this will come across as patronising if you already know it. Your muscle is in a casing called a fascia, when you exercise the muscle expands due to the increase of oxygen,blood and pressure going into the leg. If your muscle is too big for your fascia it will attempt to expand but this will be restricted by the fascia which leads to a build up of oxygen, blood and excess pressure which causes the crushing sensation and deadness. This obviously subsides in exertional compartment syndrome when you stop exercising.

but with an acute case you need surgery to correct the injury which is causing it.

Yes I understood and it is either compartment or a never pinched (god knows where)

It keeps getting more frequent and worse. Once it is triggered it is as if its on fire bit doesnt hurt like that but for 15 seconds or so. The first times it was happening I jumped ot of my chair looking for who or what was burning the fuck out of me, only to find the pain vanished and nothing had happened.
Now bumping it can be a trigger yet rubbing it does nothing to change the sensation. It feels asleep at times now. Numb, slight tingle then sometimes it just randomly goes off.

A vet her warned me it could be a clot and now I am beginning to wonder because it is near my knee and now has a sleepy feeling at times.

I do this a lot since my health insurance tripled and I dropped it.

btw I appreciate the info.
I am not dead set on what I had but I want to rule out compartment or figure out if I have it.
