Respected Carmen hi I evaluated your query thoroughly. So far as compartment syndrome is concerned, it develops only and only if the clinical diagnosis is not proper , proper treatment is not carried out else there is no chances of late comp. syndrome. In our clinic according to clinical evaluation , we prescribe penicillin group of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory agents for desired period of time with regular follow up for looking to regression of the hematoma till complete cure. So Madam, continue your medications properly , can apply ice 3-4 times a day, have some rest if required and keep the affected leg elevated over 2-3 pillows when resting to get faster recovery. Hope this clears your query. Thanks for using Health care Magic and reading my answer carefully. Regards Wishing you a fast and speedy recovery from the same, afterall you have blessings of thousands of patients you have taken care since your 15 years career of nurse. Take care Dear Bye .
