The Back to the Future star opened up about his health issues
Michael J Fox has opened up about being afflicted with a new array of health problems, which resulted in him having surgery and physical therapy.
The Back To The Future actor went public with his Parkinson’s diagnosis in 1998, after being diagnosed with the neurological condition seven years earlier. And although he has kept acting – and raising an incredible $800 million to combat the disease -as his condition progresses, the 57-year-old has revealed he has been battling new, serious issues with his health.Michael said: ‘I was having this recurring problem with my spinal cord. I was told it was benign but if it stayed static I would have diminished feeling in my legs and difficulty moving. Then all of a sudden I started falling — a lot. It was getting ridiculous.
‘In my case, what was it that made me skip down the hallway to the kitchen thinking I was fine when I’d been in a wheelchair six months earlier? It’s because I had certain optimistic expectations of myself, and I’d had results to bear out those expectations, but I’d had failures too. And I hadn’t given the failures equal weight.’
