Hi

After 3 years of pain and searching everywhere for a diagnosis I may have compartment syndrome in my lower leg. Currently looking for someone to perform a dynamic pressure monitor to confirm;

Just wondered if anyone could answer these questions?

1. I had been a runner but have given up due to pain. The pain only comes on if I walk or swim using my legs, but not if I cycle or do yoga. Can compartment syndrome be exercise specific and is walking vigorous enough to bring it on?

2. Are there any other conservative treatments? I am really not keen on surgery.

3. I have read the success rate for deep posterior compartment syndrome is as low as 65% does anyone know if this is correct?

Any information or suggestions are very welcome
Thank you,
