There are 4 different compartments so your symptoms may not be the same . You can go to a ortho dr and they can test you . My dr did it without the pressure test . I have numb feet on top , foot drop , would drag my toes because I couldn ' t feel and lift my feet . Feet would slap the ground as well . If you do have this and you try to continually push past the pain . you can cause permanent nerve damage . Go see a Dr . , totally worth it ! <| sep |> holy shit there ' s hope after big 4 <| sep |> I like fedoras damn it ! Why the hell do all of you have such a problem with it ! ?!<| sep |> I don ' t know if losing weight is the best way to go here . Maybe you could try recomposition that ' s where you stay roughly the same weight but use diet like high protein , etc . I ' m not too knowledgable about this and exercise like weight lifting to replace fat with muscle .
