Kurt Angle is going back under the knife next year.
On the latest episode of his “Kurt Angle Show” podcast, the Olympic gold medalist and WWE / IMPACT Wrestling Hall of Fame legend spoke about plans to get neck surgery next year.
“I have a lot of motor skill problems, but just so you know, I’m having neck surgery at the beginning of next year,” Angle said. “They’re gonna put in artificial disc replacements and it’s going to help these right here (his hands). I can’t really grab things and things always slip out of my hands and fall. I have horrible motor skills.”
Angle continued, “They said my arms, because they atrophied three inches each and I don’t have any muscle in here, this is completely flat (between his thumb and finger) There’s supposed to be muscle in there but it deteriorated. It atrophied. When I get these rubber discs or disc replacements, they’re going to open up the nerves so they can go down my arm so I have better circulation. The recovery time is two weeks.”
