I got exertional compartment syndrome after doing indoor spinning class after training outdoors for a month in 87 humidity 92 deg heat?

Compartment syndtome: It's more the way you're put together. Relative rest and cross training with good shoes can help. Consider pt/modalities/laser therapy, short term steroids, nsaids, gentle massage. Surgical release should be done if worsening, and with failed conservative treatment.

Possible seek consul: Compartment syndrome can be diagnosed b y measuring the pressure in the compartment during an episode. Exercise can be done to induce symptoms while pressure is obtained to confirm diagnosis. A fasciotomy of the appropriate compartment should relieve the symptoms.
