We previously mentioned that Hulk Hogan was suing Laser Spine Institute LLC for $50,000,000!
The lawsuit is over the loss of money he could have made had he been healthy enough to make his big wrestling comeback.
Hulk said:
“The people who worked on my back, Laser Spine, said I didn’t need a fusion. So they cut on my back one time and I felt pretty good after a couple of weeks. I called (WWE owner) Vince McMahon and said, ‘Man I’m good to go, let’s do this deal.’ So we started planning, then suddenly I was like, ‘Ah, ah, my back!’ That put the deal on hold. Then they cut on me six more times and they kept cutting more bone away, until I had to have a spinal cord stimulator put in my back. The stimulator has wires that go up your back and stops the pain. They put that in my back because my body was twisting like ‘The Exorcist’. I couldn’t pull my head around front, my body was all contorted.”
That’s awful! That must’ve been just terrible!
He explained that he was told he needed his spine fused together but the Laser Spine guys said they could help him without the fusion.
Hulk said:
“Everybody else said I needed a fusion. When they’re asking you if you’re ready for a fusion, they say make sure you’ve done every option – rested, trained, proper nutrition. Then if you can’t eat, you can’t sleep, you can’t work, if you can’t have sex, if you can’t even function in life, then fusion is your only option. The Laser Spine people came along and said, ‘You don’t need a fusion.’ I thought I’d found heaven on earth … But after the surgeries I was in so much pain that I finally went and got the fusion. The doctors looked at me and went, ‘Oh my god! What did they do to you?’ They’d cut so much bone away the new doctors didn’t know if they could piece it together but they did and I’m OK now.”
Well we’re so sorry that you had to go through all that but at least you’re better now!
Too bad about the wrestling├óΓé¼┬ª we would’ve loved to see Hulk take on John Cena!!
At least you have your health! …and a possible $50,000,000 payday coming your way!
