Ugggg.....the only syndrome I want is the one involving pennies
Well, if you haven't heard I have Compartment Syndrome. This causes me a tremendous amount of lower leg pain. Usually, the pain goes away shortly after a run but this is no longer the case. It hurts all the time; even silly things like getting out of bed, walking a hill with a slight incline, and stairs. I am searching every avenue to correct this problem. I will keep everyone informed, and please, if you come across any information you think might be helpful let me know.

Just don't read too much into the info on the internet, they can always make things seem worse. Take care of you leg and do what you can. Injuries suck!
ReplyDeleteI am always cautious about what I read on the internet. I am certainly going to have to find some patients in dealing with this. I just want it to be fixed and over with so I can get back to training; I know it's not going to be that easy. Grrrr...
ReplyDeleteDon't give up Fawn. I trust Dr. Walker completly when it comes to "sports" injuries for me. He has got me through some pretty sticky, painful situations and he is very comfortable saying "I have done all I can do, I am going to refer you to a specialist" You can get through this, we are all pulling for you. Just do everything Dr Walker told you to do and don't lose hope. The mind is a VERY powerful tool, for positive or negative.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work!
