Abstract
A 26-year-old female presented with a 6-year history of cold foot, paraesthesia and cramping in both legs after intensive physical training. She was a recreational bodybuilder and complained of her symptoms mostly after sporting activity. Symptoms subsequently became more severe, with cramping requiring 20 minutes to release after sport.
