Dear virtual friend, it is clear that you have faced enormous physical challenges throughout your life, and the fact that you continue to seek solutions and write with such honesty is a sign of your inner strength. It is not always easy to fight against your body's limitations, but your determination to improve your quality of life is truly inspiring.

The diagnosis you mention, chronic compartment syndrome, seems to fit some of the symptoms you describe. Although surgical treatment such as fasciotomy may be an effective option, I fully understand that the thought of undergoing surgery can be an uncertain one. Before you make that decision, you may want to explore some non-invasive options that could help you manage your pain and improve your mobility:

There are physiotherapists who specialise in complex musculoskeletal disorders, including compartment syndrome. Advanced techniques, such as myofascial therapy or specific strengthening and stretching exercises, can help reduce pressure on muscle compartments. Biofeedback, this technique uses sensors to teach your body to control involuntary functions, such as muscle tension. It may be useful for learning to relax affected muscles during physical activity.

Finally, I want to stress that learning to live with our weaknesses can be a good thing. Sometimes our greatest strength is not in completely overcoming our challenges, but in finding creative ways to live with them and move forward. I say this with propriety, I was born blind and with surgery (4 operations) from the age of 8 I only have 80/20 vision in my left eye. I use a big screen to be able to see everything I do on the internet. I learned braille and wear dark glasses so that direct lights or the sun don't knock me down, as not having an iris, I am technically photo phobic.

This is indeed a lot. I really suggest you get a doctor involved. Its their profession and I believe it will get a whole lot better, if you follow up whatever you are told 

Acupuncture.

Period.

I am 250 lb (not proud of it, trying to get it down), but both my Achilles tendons are torn for the last 14 years :)

Yet I walk long distances. Recently in Venice I was doing 20K steps days.

Only can do with Acupuncture once a week or once in two weeks when I am traveling. Don’t know if it easy to find in Finland. But for pain management there is no substitute.

I'm very glad that you still have your brain and that writing and thinking isn't causing you any pain. And that you share that with us,I appreciate that. 

My mom once got to the point where she joined an organization in Switzerland that offers assisted suicide. It was when she was at her worst, and didn't know how much meds she would have to take, and how that would affect her. So, she decided it was good to have that back-up plan. When she wasn't able to enjoy life anymore, but survive behind a foggy curtain of pain meds, she would go peacefully. That was 20 years ago. It never came to it. I think just having the option set up was enough to make her endure, and thankfully she found a way to handle her pain well, between opiates, cannabis, acupuncture, choir singing, listening to her body more, organizing her energy well and what not. I learned a lot from how she handled things.

I wish you all the best for your course, truly. 

I hope you are able to get some answers. Even if it isn't what you think it is they might have better technology now to figure out exactly what is going on.  I can't imagine how frustrating it must be to go from being very active to not at all for decades.  They say "movement is medicine", so I hope you can get back to moving again.

I hope you can get better soon, you are a person with great resilience.

I hope that you will manage to solve your problems.

I was never the fastest in my class. I suppose I could also tell myself this:

>At least I have my brain. 

But my memory is not what it used to be either...

Would you like to look like this:

I think that a body like that is way too big.

I know that some similar surgery on the shoulder greatly improves movement and strength, but most people are afraid to do it and go through a big part of their lives struggling because they do not know about it. Research and find out more about it. It may be beneficial.

I hate the saying 'health is wealth'. It gives the impression that it's something within your control when obviously in your, and many other peoples cases, it really isn't. Additionally, people with chronic disorders are, of course, able to lead full and meaningful lives and even have lovely families. Imagine that!

I'm happy you're going to badger the medical professionals. That's what they're there for! 

Giving up talk? Behave, fella. 

Hope business is progressing and your wife and daughter are well. Have the best weekend you can :-)

This is the case where I would definitely not give up and try to follow up with a professional diagnosis. Walking is one of the best exercises for those of us over forty five. And if you can fix that problem with a surgery that would be great for you long term. 

Our body is truly our greatest treasure. Even if you are the richest person in the world financially, if you do not have a healthy body, your wealth does not matter.

When something goes wrong in the body, other organs and cells are also affected. Someone with leg problems cannot walk, they will probably gain weight. They will be immobile, their blood flow will decrease. Blood pressure and similar problems will occur. Again, someone who moves less will tend to get depressed.

when things work fine, we don’t even think about them, but once something goes wrong, it becomes a constant struggle. I pray you find real relief soon

Man we have been going to get older :) For a few years, my body prefers resting than being active :/
