Hi Folks,

Thanks for the advice. I have had a good think about his symptoms, I am sure it is compartment syndrome as he initially had pain on exercise, but now, I feel that there is a build up for swelling at rest, and this causes his pain and discomfort. As far as his lumbar spine goes, he does not report any pain or discomfort, and has no risk factors for developing low back pain.

If local treatment fails, then surely it is more appropriate to work upwards to the lower back? He is only a matter of weeks into his treatment.

Thanks,

Jordan
