[RC] Juli's leg pain - Bruce Weary

Hi Juli--
What you describe doesn't sound like shin splints. I think it sounds more like "exertional compartment syndrome." Your case may be a form of compartment syndrome, but since it is aggravated by exercise, and you were resting during the MRI, the findings may have been confounded. I don't think a vascular specialist is the person you want to see. Low level light laser therapy might be of value, and you should consult an orthopedist and a good physical therapist. Let me know how it turns out. Dr Q
