When dorsiflex both feet 20 times anterior tibialis on left leg becomes tight in a minute and remains tight for hours. might be compartment syndrome?

With compartment: syndrome, you will also tend to have numbness and tingling into your foot. Also it is very painful. You may have a muscle problem on left side, best to have it evaluated by a doctor.
