WWE and TNA Hall of Fame member and Olympic gold medalist Kurt Angle suffers the consequences of his wrestling career. In reality, his sports-related health problems began before he even began wrestling professionally.
► The aftermath of wrestling
And despite the countless rehabilitations, surgeries and other processes he has undergone to face the damage he has in his body, “The Wrestling Machine” shares in eWrestlingNews that currently he is forced to live with the pain without there being anything that can remedy it:
“Over time, later on, when you have less disc between each vertebra, they will eventually end up fusing naturally anyway. And that’s what happened to my neck in the last few years. My neck, I no longer have discs. It’s all vertebra. It’s bone. And I’m in excruciating pain all the time and there’s nothing they can do for me.. I tried to get rubber disc replacements, but since my neck naturally fused, I no longer have discs to replace.
«So I’m in a pretty bad situation right now, but hey, I learned to deal with it, and I do a lot of maintenance to control it.. I try to keep it as mobile as possible. And, uh, I lost like three inches on both arms due to atrophy, in my neck, and I lost a big muscle right in my chest. I have a great line here. And it’s ridiculous. Your neck controls everything in your body, and well, I’m suffering enormously and I’m paying the price for the career I had.»
