Quote from: myloginacct on November 30, 2017, 02:04:39 AMCECS is really scary, though. Wouldn't it eventually lead to amputation if left untouched just a bit longer? Excuse my ignorance.


No, only acute compartment syndrome could lead to that and it usually happens after serious injury, like a road accident. Chronic Exertional Compartment Syndrome only shows symptoms during exercise and subsides once the activity has stopped. It's highly annoying if you're an active person, but you can live your whole life with it.

Gotcha. Thanks for clearing that up for me.
