GO SHARKS, BITTTTTTTCH!

 

[Disney Plorster]

Rain and cold weather nailed me I'm definately sick hopefully the devils game tommorow and the devils game saturday along with the USC game make me feel better Raiders sunday

Yeah, hopefully you actually feel better, but somehow get work off. The Buckeyes have a bye, and the Browns should actually beat the Seahawks.

Strenuous hiking makes my compartment syndrome symptoms come out. It's not pleasant. And besides, I like swimming holes a whole lot more than peaks.

I don't remember if there are any spots in the pics I posted, but this last place had the best of both worlds. although it was a little cool to swim.

We hiked in a gorge, following the river most of the way. There were small waterfalls & swimming holes every 100 feet or so.

80+ degrees in the day time, mid 40's at night.

That's about the same as it was when I went a couple of weeks ago.

Take a good sleeping bag & you'll be OK.

I took a 0 degree rated bag, as I usually do if the low is below about 50.

That's the best. I love that.

Really, I do. That wasn't sarcastic.

Vee, how serious is your CS?

Well I had surgery on both legs for it so it's MUCH better. But it's never going to be 100 % healed. I still feel it on steep inclines and carving on a real steep hill when snowboarding.

Well good.

I googled it & it looked painful.

That's rough. My wrist surgery for something really minor still bothers me, I'll bet a serious procedure on both legs must be hellish at times.

Well there is a huge difference between Chronic Compartment Syndrome and Acute Compartment Syndrome. I have Chronic CS. Acute CS is fucking terrifying. My friend Val refers to Acute CS surgery wounds as "Leg-gina."

The good thing about Chronic CS is that it doesn't just randomly affect you. I have to be doing something really strenuous to feel the symptoms and they're not NEARLY as bad as it was before surgery.

Now recovery from a bilateral fasciotomy is ROUGH.

 

[Darkstone42]

I'm shuffling off. Meeting at 8:30 tomorrow. I figure to get into work at 7:15 though to get stuff done before it.

So much to do. If only I had been on the ball last week...

Does it affect your ability to twerk it? LOL

I have no idea what that is, but it sounds awful.

And to be honest, my wrist is the same way, but computer work is what sets it off, and I spend half my time on a computer, writing emails to my classes, grading their online comments, filling in the gradebook, typing reports, doing paper research. Baseball and golf mess with it, too, and those are two of my favorite pass times. Rugby was super rough on it, of course...

But since it's my wrist, I can usually go days to weeks without it acting up. If it was the same way with my legs, I don't know what I'd do. I can't sit still or stop moving (I must be a pain to teach, I'm all over the place during class).

But how does derby affect it? Does it flare up when you're on skates? I can't imagine that being not strenuous. I won't see your answer until the morning, but I can't be interested in something and not ask about it. I am, after all, a scientist.

Your fascia is the protective sheath that covers your muscles. When you have Chronic CS, the muscles in your leg swell up from your blood pumping while you exercise and the fascia compresses the muscle and won't budge. The more your blood is pumping, the more swollen the muscle gets and it can't go anywhere because it's being constricted by the fascia. So you get intense burning pain and you lose circulation and get something called "drop foot" (where you can't control your foot because it's not getting any circulation). It feels like someone set your leg on fire. The only thing you can do is stop exercising immediately and wait till your pulse slows back down and all your muscles go back to their normal size.

My surgeon basically said it was like adding water to a dry sponge that's stuck in a small metal cylinder. Does that make sense?

So to fix it, the doctor cut my fascia in both legs from knee to ankle under the skin so that when I exercise and my muscles expand, they can push past the protective sheath and get some breathing room. Kind of like "flaying" something.

Gross, right?
