WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash has been dealing with health issues for a very long time now and this includes his most recent shoulder injury. Nash has now confirmed he will undergo a minimally invasive procedure after his painful shoulder injury.
Kevin Nash recently revealed that hes in a lot of pain because of a shoulder injury. Nash explained that the injury happened while he was using a Cybex row machine with 170 pounds on it. He was on his eighth or ninth rep when he felt and heard something pop in his shoulder.
While speaking on his Kliq This podcast, Kevin Nash explained that as hes gotten older, hes learned the importance of checking out injuries right away. Getting an MRI can help catch problems like partial tears before they turn into something worse, like a full tear that might need serious surgery. Recently, he went to the doctor for his shoulder where they found a bone spur and arthritis. The doctor said some scar tissue probably broke loose, which caused his pain. Surprisingly, once that happened, Nash noticed his shoulder pain improved, and he could move more freely.
Nash described the scar on his shoulder as looking rough, with bruises and a shotgun-like appearance, which hes shown on Instagram. While it looks bad, hes thankful its not causing major problems now. He plans to return to the gym soon but will take it easy by starting light, doing warm-ups, stretching, and icing to avoid further injury.
Nash also had tests on his lower back and found out he has a pinched L3 nerve on his left side. The nerve is being squeezed by a calcium buildup called stenosis, which can also happen when discs in the spine lose space. To fix this, Nash is planning a minor surgery where doctors will remove the extra bone pressing on the nerve. He said the procedure is straightforward and done by a trusted surgeon.
After surgery, Kevin Nash will have six weeks of light activity and should fully recover in about three months. He hopes to be back to working out by mid-March to get in shape for the summer.
Kevin Nash also revealed that he will be undergoing his third round of stem cell therapy. The WWE Hall of Famer is clearly focusing on his health before anything else and fans are hoping he will eventually become healthier than ever before following all of his upcoming procedures.
