The foot bones conected to the leg bone, the leg bone's conected to the ..... dem bones dem bones...
In all seriousness, when a part of the muscular/skeletal is not fully right, it often puts strain either directly or indirectly on other parts of the body. For instance it's well known that is often a link between hamstring problems and back problems.
When the sooky, lesser Riewoldt tore his hamstring, I dont think it's a coincidence that he was trying to play on with an ankle that badly injured that he couldn't kick.
With Tambling I dont know for sure that they are related, but it is an educated guess that they are. The compartment sydrome severley hampers the calf muscles ability to expand and contract, as does the surgery, which must put some sort of strain on other parts of the system.
To me the question is, was the compartment sydrome caused by a problem in the hips, or is the problem in the hips caused by the compartment syndrome, or the surgery, or is there another as yet undiagnosed problem that has led to both these issues?
