I am familiar with compartment syndrome but not exercise induced cs. I would always recommend surgery as a LAST resort! One you're cut it's a done deal....it may work or it may not. You might try RICE - rest, ice, compression, elevation. I don't think it will aggravate the situation and if it works...

Do you have it in both legs? Did it come on suddenly or over time? Is it limiting you in any way?
