Chronic Exertional Compartment Syndrome: More than Shin Splints
Case History
State champion, female high school gymnast, Lacey Scheid was diagnosed with Chronic Exertional Compartment Syndrome (CECS). For months, her trainer and doctors treated her condition as shin splints, reducing her training and recommending that she wear a walking boot. The delayed diagnosis resulted in lost training and competition time and additional stress.
