Where can i get tested for compartment syndrome?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sports medicine doc: You are likely referring to exertional compartment syndrome. You need to find an orthopaedic surgeon who can diagnosis this problem. There is a special instrument which can be used to measure the pressure in the compartment. It involved placing a needle into the compartment to determine the pressure.
