Hi everyone,
I just wanted to ask if anyone has any experience or knowledge of compartment syndrome (both calves) and how this may affect my ability to cycle. I have had the condition since I was 17 and I am now 23, I did see an orthopedic surgeon when I was 17 but he seemed more concerned with the aesthetics of my legs than the actual use of them.
I have been referred back to a MSK clinic now and I will be pushing for surgery. I have rested for a year, Nsaids have been of no benefit and also cause me some gastric issues (I already take esomeprazole for this) and when I was referred to orthotics they said they didn't think the referral was appropriate for their department.
it is also worth noting that I have some abnormality in the nerves in my lower right leg, the abnormality is not enough for it to cross over the normal threshold but I just thought I would mention it here.
Any advice would be welcome and if anybody knows of a specialist in the UK that would be even better, I don't think much to the NHS.
