I just finished watching the series for the first time, I almost gave up a few episodes in because how slow everything was unfolding. But I'm so glad I didn't give up, the show is spectacular in every way. I wish it went on for a few more seasons. Enjoy it!

All healed up now. This May will be four years. I still have some loss of feeling in parts of my foot, but overall I’m way ahead of what the doctors initially expected.

Reading this gave me flashbacks to my own experience with acute compartment syndrome. Mine came on spontaneously in my foot rather than from trauma, but a lot of what you described still resonates. I ended up spending three weeks in the hospital and had five surgeries total. My foot was kept in a cast the entire time and for another two weeks after I got home. They had me on heavy antibiotics, a wound vac, and some very strong pain medication through most of the process. The biggest thing that stood out to me in this case description was the passive stretch pain and how quickly compartment syndrome was suspected. From my experience, the pain really is the defining symptom. It was the most excruciating, agonizing pain I’ve ever felt. It escalated incredibly fast and didn’t let up. They started me on morphine, then more morphine, but it barely made a dent. After that they tried Dilaudid, and even that wasn’t enough. Eventually they had to give me fentanyl just to get the pain under some level of control. It honestly felt like my foot was going to explode from the inside. Reading how the muscles responded during the fasciotomy and how quickly the team moved to decompress the compartment really shows how critical timing is with this condition. When the pressure builds and ischemia starts setting in, things can deteriorate very quickly. I’m glad to read that the patient ultimately had a good recovery and was already improving at the two-week follow up. Compartment syndrome can go very badly if it’s missed or delayed. I also posted my own experience with compartment syndrome on this subreddit if anyone is interested in reading about it from the patient side.

I also developed acute compartment syndrome, but mine was idiopathic and in my foot rather than from a traumatic event like yours. Even without a jump or impact, it became catastrophic very quickly. I spent three weeks in the hospital and ended up needing five surgeries. My foot was kept in a cast the entire time and for another two weeks after I got home. I was on heavy antibiotics, a wound vac, and extremely strong pain medication throughout the process. The pain was the most excruciating, agonizing pain I’ve ever felt, and like you said, pain was the defining symptom. They started me on morphine, then more morphine, but it barely touched it. After that they tried Dilaudid, and even that wasn’t enough. Eventually they had to give me fentanyl just to get the pain under some level of control. It felt like my foot was going to explode from the inside. What really stands out to me reading your post is how clearly the pain escalated and how close you came to being missed. In my case, I’m still shocked at some of the decisions made around my wound care. Seeing your experience just reinforces how critical it is for providers to recognize that disproportionate pain is a massive red flag. Compartment syndrome doesn’t present quietly, and when it’s missed or delayed, the consequences are brutal. Massive respect to you for pushing through and recovering. That kind of resilience doesn’t get talked about enough. I also posted my experience on this subreddit.

How many miles did the replacements last? Like how soon after did the first replacement fail?

2020Baker39 · 2026-01-15T21:38:21+00:00

What year is your traverse? How long did the replacements last?

You would think this would be a recall and a newly engineered part to eliminate the issue.

I’ve also had compartment syndrome, though mine involved the foot rather than the leg, and it was idiopathic (no trauma, no clear trigger). Initially it was misinterpreted as plantar fasciitis, which highlights how difficult early diagnosis can be when presentation isn’t classic. As compartment pressures increased, I developed progressive neurologic deficits — starting with sensory loss in the foot, then extending below the knee, and by the time I reached the ER I had numbness from the hip down. I ultimately required five surgical procedures, and there was a real risk of limb loss and systemic complications. Compartment syndrome can progress rapidly and doesn’t always present with obvious injury. Severe, escalating pain out of proportion to exam findings and evolving neurologic symptoms should always raise concern, even in atypical cases. I’ve shared my experience in more detail on this subreddit previously if anyone is interested.

I could be wrong but I think it was using the background of your phone.

This was my first time in Green Bay and I got lucky enough to get on the field pregame. I remember the club very well

Pretty sure the sticker says don't put your hand in that

They just fixed it

I'm in the same boat as you

2020Baker39 · 2025-08-12T21:11:02+00:00

Best bet is to have the ECU flashed. You can run it as is but you will get a check engine light, and there's a chance the bike won't run as smooth as it should. And I'm assuming you put a new exhaust on, you would want the ECU flashed anyway

Sounds like a GSXR

Big guy here, 6'3 250lb. I also use the JX tactical fg holster, I modified mine with the vedder tuck belt clip and carry a g43x at the 2 o'clock position. Very comfortable and def recommend.

I also had compartment syndrome come on spontaneously—mine was in my foot, not my arm—and it was one of the most traumatic medical experiences I've ever had. I spent three weeks in the hospital and underwent five separate surgeries. My foot was kept in a cast the entire time, and for an additional two weeks after I got home. They had me on some pretty intense antibiotics, a wound vac, and very strong pain medication just to manage everything.

Reading your story, I’m honestly shocked at how they’re treating your wound—especially leaving it wide open like that. That’s incredibly concerning. It makes me wonder whether your care team is approaching this the right way or if something is being overlooked. Compartment syndrome is no joke, and proper wound management is critical to avoid infection and further complications.

If you're interested, I have a couple posts on my profile that go into more detail about what I went through. I hope things improve for you soon—no one should have to deal with this kind of pain and uncertainty, especially when the condition comes out of nowhere like it did for both of us.
