WWE Hall of Famer D-Von Dudley recently took to an episode of his Table Talk Podcast and provided yet another update on how his back is doing after undergoing his recent surgery. D-Von said that his back is doing phenomenal as he went from using a walker, to a cane and now he isn't even using a cane, but a back brace, which is great.
D-Von also said each day that goes by and it gets better and better, where he feels less pain and now he is just enjoying his life in terms of him having no more pain. The WWE Hall of Famer then said the doctors were only supposed to repair his L4 and his L5, but they saw that his L6 was bad, so they had to clear that up as well.
D-Von said:
“My back is doing phenomenal. I went from a walker, to a cane, and now I’m not even using a cane now.” “So I have my back brace, which is great.” “Each day that goes by, it gets better and better where I feel less pain. I’m now just really enjoying my life in terms of no more pain, no more pulling of my hamstrings, and no one numbness going down my legs. My doctor, Dr. Glen Manzano, out of Dr. Phillips Hospital in Orlando, was a tremendous doctor.”
“I mean, they were only supposed to go in there and do L4 and L5. Then when they opened me up, they saw L6 was bad, so they had to clear that up. They had to shift my spine back to tilt it a little bit because our spine is supposed to be tilted a little bit. So they had to tilt it a little bit back to where it was because it went straight. Again, that’s from all the bumping over the years.” “The nerve damage, they said when they went in there was unbelievable. They had never seen anything like that. The doctor had to come out and tell her (his wife), ‘The surgery is only going to take two hours, but it looks like we’re going longer.’ It winds up being seven hours.”
