No heat?

Has it been more than 48 hours since you injured it? That's when it's usually safe to use heat, but I still prefer waiting an additional day. If a joint is swollen, inflamed and painful, heat will make things worse. If you do want to try heat, alternate with ice.

It hasn't been even 24 hours yet. We have a hot tub here, but I'll stay away from it today. Thanks for all your advise - I really appreciate it.

Should I wrap it?

You are most welcome. 13 years of being a PT... it's what I do. :shrug:
Yes, wrapping it will help. Hang in there! :kiss:

Thanks! :kiss:

We might go out to Mouse Surplus this afternoon if I can stand sitting in the van. That should be fun.

Good Morning you guys!

Betty I'm glad to see your knee is at least feeling somewhat better; but I'm sorry you can't go to the parks... :(

Hey Kristin, do you know what anterior bilateral compartment syndrome is?

Hey Joe! I sure do. Do you have it? That's uber painful, from what I've heard.

Well, we believe so.

Last year when I was training for the half I thought I had shin splints... but it wasn't exactly the symptons of them. I did some research, thought that was what it was... went to an orthopedist... he said my symptons were basically it.

It only hurts when I run, but I can't run more than like a half mile or more...

I just wanted to double check with your expertise if... in fact Surgery is truly the only cure for it? That was somewhat what I had been told; but not entirely... like if I went back into exercising is there anyway to get rid of it with any type of certain exercises or anything that you know of?

I don't really want to get the surgery... I almost did last year; but now I'm not going to be running any race, I just want to be able to run along the Charles and stuff on some nice spring/summer days...

Well, we learned in school that a true compartment syndrome is usually an emergency that requires immediate surgery. The most common example is a military recruit who is in basic training, and suddenly is marching 20 miles/day in combat boots. In that case, compartment syndrome is sudden and require immediate surgery. In your case, it sounds like it may be a severe case of shin splints. Which, not to be a downer, are very hard to completely get rid of. Have you had a bone scan to rule out stress fractures in your tibia? An X Ray wouldn't show it.
