Just found out I have had this for the past year (a birth deformity that hasnt shown symptoms up until recently). I've got an appointment with a Vascular surgeon in February. Incredible how you can struggle to diagnose something for some long, and find it hard to understand if what youre feeling is as bad as you think it is. When people are questioning if your symptoms are true. "it's just growing pains" "it couldn't be blood related, you're too young for that" "an MRI wouldnt be worth getting, just stretch more and go to the physio". Some of these even said by my GP... It seems crazy to watch this video, and hear how similar her experience is to mine. I'm also a young (19) female who loves sport, which I had to stop recently due to this condition. It is so promising to see her recovery. Thank you for posting this, it has really given me hope of getting my life back.
Wow Hannah it’s crazy that your going through this right now because for the last 2 years I (i’m 17)have been trying to get a diagnosis.They thought i had compartment syndrome but tested negative. This was the first time I found out what I had. I’m meeting with my doctor in a few weeks to schedule surgery. I have been told by so many for the past 2 years that it was my excuse and that i was just being a baby. It makes me happy to know that I have other people going through it with me!! Wish you luck
@@noahhudson1178 I know, it feels so good to hear that your not just being sensitive or making anything up! And for 2 years! Hope the surgery goes well for you mate :)
Hey wanted to ask what some of symptoms you suffered when you had it. I currently for the last year have been suffering with pain in my calfs while playing at extremely high intensity of sport. going to get a ultrasound tomorrow and a Mri so hoping to hear something
Just finished the lower extremity arteriogram with provocative maneuvers. Diagnosis with popliteal artery entrapment, bilateral from my Vascular doctor. I also was seen before this procedure by a foot and ankle doctor and conducted the tread mil test and tested positive for chronic compartment syndrome. Lots of questions.
I was suffering from this for the past 4years and i just received a surgery last week. I'm still in the process of physical therapy but things getting better rn
I just got diagnosed with this this week. Been about 15 years thinking I just had to stretch more. Four doctors pressured later, I got a negative for compartment syndrome and now I’m wondering if I should have this surgery. The doctor said I could ‘live’ with it but I’m not sure
Could any one describe the entire symptoms that u guys face...bcoz I too have this problem but not a sports player. I have a fatigue legs(both right and left legs) for the past one year with no rednessor no indication over the skin that. Went to neurologist,orthopedists,physios...etc but no improvement.
Hello! I have been diagnosed with functional popliteal artery entrapment syndrome so only experience symptoms when exerting myself. These symptoms manifest in progressive numbness and tingling eventually leading to loss of power strength, sensation, warmth and parlour but this all goes away after ceasing exercise almost instantly. I can’t say if what you’re experiencing is due to having this condition but there are tests that can be carried out to determine if you suffer with it. The duplex ultrasound was the first positive test that showed the condition followed by an MRI and angiogram. I hope you can find out what is wrong with you and get better. Good luck 🤞🏻
I am not a health professional. I just have PAES, diagnosed a few years ago. I've read a couple medical articles about this condition and I believe there are a lot of variations of this same condition, so I SUPPOSE symptoms may differ. That said, I only feel symptoms when I practice specific and intense activities where I need contract my calf muscle. If I run with a 6"30' pace, I will start to feel the pain that will grow in intensity if I keep exerting until it is so excruciating that makes me stop. But I won't feel anything while cycling, for example. Depending on the intensity level and how much I exert my calf, I feel from an acute pain in my calf muscle to an excruciating pain in my tibia bone, like it's being sawed. The worst pain I've ever felt. I only realized your comment is three years old when I finished writing. So, I hope you are well.
