Peterson 100% has chronic exertional pain (compartment) syndrome. During exercise, pressure in muscle compartments increase, leading to the feeling of cramping and weakness. It’s consistent with exercise. Commonly seen in athletes who over train, like endurance athletes. Your muscle increase in size from training and the fascial outer layer doesn’t keep pace. They test it by measuring the pressure of your muscle compartment pre exercise and then post exercise. Everything matches Peterson, typically after a certain amount of exercise he has “cramps”. The treatment is conservative, PT (stretch, soft tissue work, orthotics, rest etc). Surgical is a fasciomety. I know they have to protect a players medical, but a healthy 19-20 year old just doesn’t just randomly cramp for months. Something obviously is going on more serious for Peterson. It was never a hammy and he never moves like he is having true cramps. Bet money he has this condition.
