Compartment syndrome in both legs

[ShelbylMet]

Hi im new here. Found this by complete accident. I have been on a wild ride healthwise for the last 5 years. Prior to these past 5 years i was diagnosed with fibromyalgia chronic fatigue Epstein bar degenerative disc disease bursitis tendonitis and arthritis. After i had my first and only child in 2011i started suffering with chronic swelling in bkth feet and ankles i could barely walk couldnt wear normal shoes and couldnt rotate my ankles and didn't have any push off in my feet at all. 5 years later after being told i have cellulitis 3 times and treated for it i have recently been told i have compartment syndrome and that it could result in death. Ive delveloped venous stasis skin ulcers on the top of my left foot and right ankle its so painful i can hardly stand it. And these things dont heal talk about a hassle. anyway i have yet to find a doctor that will treat me ive been without a doctor now fkr almost 9 months so i have no pain meds whatsoever its a. Nightmare. Ive lost both arches in my feet and the swelling has caused pitting edema thats very painful i have darkened skin on my.feet.from my blood vessels exploding and my toenails are just gross. I hate this and would do anything to find a doctor or a treatment to help my condition. If anyone has any info on. This painful disease please email me at.

Hello Shelby I'm sorry to hear about all your struggling and pain. You have a lot going on right now which needs to be sorted out soon. Are you from the UK and how come you don't have a doctor? You need to see someone to get you on the correct medication and to help you to sort out your legs as you must be in awful pain.

The fact that you say you don't have a doctor makes me think you are in the US as in the UK everyone has the right to register with a GP.

Have you seen a podiatrist yet? they are the experts at things below the knee, and they can deal with all your problems including compartment syndrome.
