Compartment Pressure Syndrome in forearms 7-Sep-2009 At 4:42:54 PM Rayda

Thanks heaps aj,

I had a test done which confirmed the diagnosis. However, the way you have described the test is not entirely the same the way the doctor did my test and the ostepath I saw also was curious as to the method used to test the pressures. Which of course left me even more baffled, needless to say I am seeing another specialist surgeon for another opinion before jumping right into surgery. Plus I plan on seeing an OT and doing quite a bit of deep tissue massage to see if that helps for some time.
I definately agree with gfdonc,
"be very sure that's the problem before taking on the cure." good advice.

I guess my only real main concern is if this will get worse, I have read that the increased pressures can cause temporary or even permanent nerve damage. Not really what I need.

cheers all
