Compartment Pressure Syndrome in forearms 8-Sep-2009 At 8:44:30 AM Rayda

Message

I have had extensive physio (lots of stretching and tai chi) and have had quortisone infusion patches on the effected area. This was when I thought it was RSI. Now that I believe it maybe CPS I have only really had some deep tissue therapy, the diagnosis was only made about 3 months ago. The MRI that I had showed no evidence of tendon sheath damage or any other abnormalities which is why my sports physician has lent towards CPS.

Once I am 100% convinced it is CPS than I guess I will see if other treatments work first, failing them I am booked in at the end of the month to see another specialist for a second opinion. This surgeon might not tell me that he needs to open up my forearm just to cut the fascia like the first surgeon I saw told me....

I may even get the test done again, this time not have needles inserted near my elbow to get the pressure reading, which is what puzzled the first surgeon I saw. hmmmmm.

I seriously hope it isn't CPS as well even though I am mentally prepared for the final diagnosis....thanks for the good luck wishes...cheers
