mm ive seen a documentary on a kid born with no pain sense at all and it was devastating.
im sure if what they claim is true it would at least give possibilities of treatment without full loss of all sense of pain and good combination possibilities with other medication to strike a balance of some sort.
i know it might be hard to believe, but this has destroyed my life as i knew it at the moment. its taken me a while to accept that i guess, doing so helps mentally slightly.
i dont really have high hopes as it doesn't explain why i've had it for going on 2 years and i'm hardly athletic - just some weights over the years, but i did smash clubbing and shuffling pretty hard most weekends for 3 years or so. still, i'm doubtful, but certainly happy to give it a go.
Common causes of compartment syndrome include tibial or forearm fractures, ischemic reperfusion following injury, hemorrhage, vascular puncture, intravenous drug injection, casts, prolonged limb compression, crush injuries and burns.[4][5] Another possible cause can be the use of creatine monohydrate; a history of creatine use has been linked to this condition.[6][7] Compartment syndrome can also occur following surgery in the Lloyd Davis lithotomy position, where the patient's legs are elevated for prolonged periods. As of February 2001, any surgery that is expected to take longer than six hours to complete must include Compartment Syndrome on its list of post-operative complications. The Lloyd Davis lithotomy position can cause extra pressure on the calves and on the pneumatic pressure Flowtron boots worn by the patient.

^ regarding hearing loss there was a study published last year:

I can't find a free link to the full paper though. It's "Analgesic Use and the Risk of Hearing Loss in Men" published in the March 2010 issue of the American Journal of Medicine.
