Can you be a little more specific?

Generally something needs to occur to incite CECS that causes the increase in intra compartmental pressure. Burning in the calf could be many different things.

Intra compartmental pressure testing is the gold (realistically the only) standard for diagnosis. True compartment syndrome can only be resolved surgically, but again, it is over diagnosed - even in the literature.
