Swollen leg story

I am a golfer. My Dr. Beato is also a golfer. This story starts at Pinehurst, I was playing golf with my wife and another couple. I was climbing out of a bunker and on my way to the green it felt like I twisted my leg a little. I didn’t think much of it and we played on.

The next day my leg swelled up. I had no idea what was going on. We traveled back to our house in Blacksburg the swelling was not going away. The next day I woke up and the leg was enormous. Of course it was a weekend. I contacted my Dr. office and they wanted me to come in on Monday. I saw Dr. Beato and wowed him with the enormous swelling. He removed some blood to test for various possible causes, including Lyme disease. The testing takes time so he prescribed two types of medication. Later that week the test results came back, Lyme disease symptoms. That day he drove to my house with the Lyme disease drug in hand. Results— no side effects and no longer Lyme Disease.
