A 22-year-old male college gymnast presents to the office for evaluation of forearm pain, which has been present for four months. He reports significant pain and tightness in his bilateral forearms after 10 minutes of tumbling, which subsides with cessation of activity. He denies any numbness or tingling during the episodes and has not attempted any treatment prior to evaluation. Exertional compartment syndrome of the bilateral forearms is suspected, and the patient undergoes compartment pressure measurements, which reveal a pressure of 25 mmHg and 32 mmHg in the left and right forearm, respectively, five minutes post-exercise. What is the most appropriate management?
