i have diagnosed myself with exercise-induced exertional compartment syndrome. i went running on saturday. and noticed that my shin was numb that night. by tuesday it was still numb and tingling. of course, i diagnosed myself by sunday morning (not that diagnosing is within the scope of nursing. i think there are exceptions when it's self diagnosis...).
because i have exercised induced crap, and may need surgery sometime soon to return the proper blood supply to my leg, i went for a walk on sunday instead of another run. (still having a hard time fitting all my workout time in...boo.) and it was cloudy and windy (aka. there was a slight wyoming breeze). can you believe it? wind in texas? i know.
