Even after docs recognized the difficulty, Owens continued functioning with out the usually related signs. Sadly, that modified shortly earlier than their podcast episode, launched on Wednesday, was recorded.

“Within the final week, for some cause, the signs all got here in a single shot,” Owens informed Rhodes. “Each symptom you’d anticipate me to have, the ache within the neck, the stuff taking place the arms, the legs probably not responding, it is all been occurring. 

“So it has been fairly f—ing brutal. I am unable to look ahead to the surgical procedure. After which to maneuver ahead, no matter that appears like — nevertheless it’s been very irritating.”

Owens spoke with a number of medical professionals and different skilled wrestlers with related accidents. Owens opted to delay surgical procedure to permit his spinal wire to heal naturally. Along with his newfound ache, Owens is extra keen to maneuver ahead with the surgical procedure, tentatively deliberate for the summer time. 

“We’re letting my spinal wire heal as a lot as we will by itself earlier than we go in for the surgical procedure, as a result of how in depth the surgical procedure might be will depend on how my spinal wire appears to be like after we go in there,” Owens stated.

“We’re ready until mid-July to do the surgical procedure,” he later added. “Hopefully, it is a regular neck fusion. It won’t be, we do not know.”
