Chronic Exertional Compartment Syndrome

I suffer from this, and was unfortunate enough to have to have the surgery. For those that want to find out a little more about the condition click the link and read more indepth, but in short: Compartment Syndrome is when there is too much pressure in a compartment in your arm or leg, in my case my claves. There is no true know cause or reason it happens, only that it is seem mostly in athletes that excersise too hard or too long. The only thing proven to help at all is surgery which I got. There are high risks of nerve damage which I also have. There is a lot of pain, numbness, nerve problems, and scary happenings with this syndrome, but the one thing I should not have done was play through the pain. So if you think you have this, do not keep playing, get the needed tests. They suck, but it is worth being able to play again.
