I have not posted in awhile due to a crazy summer. Here is an update. My surgery was back in April. My legs feel great. No more numbness or tingling. They took longer to heal than expected and even though the incisions looked great, the muscle needed some time. I can now run 3 miles without any problems, however I have been dealing with shin splints and a pulled muscles. Now that the fall is almost here and my legs feel great, I am going to increase my exercise level.
My word of advice for people is be patient. If you are young, you will recover faster than myself. At 42 yrs old, it has been harder to get back into running shape, but I still feel confident that I will get there.
No regrets... My legs feel better than they have in years. No pain or numbness!!!

I am amazed because your blog could be written by myself. I am 41, soon to be 42, have same s & s and the longer I read I am freaking out that we are in the same profession. I too am a RN. I am going to have the Stryker test tomorrow. Please, please email me. I have so many questions of someone that has had this test and a fasciotomy. I would be very greatful to have your opinion and experience.
