Ok it was the summer of 2004 Friday night and I had gone bowling that day and bowled quiet a lot. lol after 4 hours of bowling I called it a night however my leg was in pain but I paid no mind to it as I thought it was just sore from all the bowling. I went home and the pain was increasing rather quickly so I decided to go to Georgetown hospital where I was diagnosed with chin splints. So I was sent home however my pain was still increasing rapidly. After 4 hours I went back to Georgetown hospital and this time I was diagnosed with cellulitis. Was given some pain meds and sent home. But the meds were not alleviating my pain at all!!! Now it's Sunday morning I had gone to the hospital twice on Saturday and now it's Sunday morning and with no sleep because the pain was just too much. I went to waccamaw hospital which is 30 minutes from where I lived and I was also diagnosed with cellulitis I guess I can understand why due to the fact it's a community hospital and would follow same protocol. At this time I was furious,in pain,and frustrated that the pain in my leg was like a machete tearing down on me. I decided to give it one more shot I drove an hour away to grand strand regional hospital in myrtle beach. And that's where I met Dr butler where he automatically knew there was something wrong and decided to keep me overnight for further testing and evaluation. That following morning I was rushed to surgery to release the pressure inside my leg the Dr butler told me. And had a second surgery to remove the remaining dead muscle tissue that was left and it was a lot. That I can't never lift my foot again. Compartment syndrome. That's what I had and Dr butler was able to recognize it as soon as he could unfortunately I wish I would of gone to him first maybe this nightmare would of been prevented. It's been a long time and I'm glad I was able to find this opportunity to thank him for the great work he performed on me and the details and care he shows for his patients. Thankyou Dr Butler I hope you remember my case.
