Compartment Syndrome?

so, my beloved cross season has had the kibosh put on (for the second year in a row, no less), by what doctors speculate is "compartment syndrome"...

I would like to know if anyone has had experience with this, their main symtoms, how they were fixed, and the recovery time...?

I'd write my own symptoms, but
a) that would take a whack o' space
b) I want to see how well my current symptoms match up with diagnosed C.S. sufferers' symptoms.

Any and all help is appreciated
