Diagnosed with Compartment Syndrome - Twas the night before torture

Tomorrow the dressing on my fasciotomy gets changed.  This is the 3rd time for this wonderful experience since I injured my calf on Wed. July 28.  Saturday when the nurse changed the dressing for the first time, I screamed, yelled, cried, cursed and generally was really well behaved.  Tuesday the doctor. put me under to see what was happening with my wounds and I've been in horrible pain ever since.  Can you see why I'm looking forward to tomorrow  Soon I'll tell you more about this injury and hope someone with experience can clue me in as to what I can expect in the future.  Time for meds!

  1. Waiting for the nurse. Last night was the first time I made it to the bathroom without waking my husband. Usually I groan etc. because getting out of bed is so awful. I think this is progress!
