Compartment Syndrome

Alexandra Lazzara

Before surgery for exertional compartment syndrome, I was unable to run even half a mile without being in excruciating pain and having my left foot go numb. Just six months after being cleared to exercise again post-op, I ran my first half marathon, something I wouldn't have even dreamed of with compartment syndrome. I had become so accustomed to the pain while exercising/running that I had forgotten what it was like to be without it. I am so thankful to Dr. Roberts for allowing me to rediscover my love for running!
