what happened to ronnie coleman legs

Ronnie Coleman, a former professional bodybuilder, has lost most of his mobility due to multiple surgeries. The root cause of his injuries could be traced back to 1996 when he dislocated his disc while doing squats. However, he ignored this injury for nearly a decade, and it wasnt until 2007 that he decided to get it checked. Over the years, he experienced other herniated disks, which caused him to undergo multiple surgeries, including two disc replacement surgeries and two hip replacement surgeries. Unfortunately, the surgeries exacerbated his injuries and caused him to lose most of his mobility. Today, he can only walk short distances without crutches, and beyond that, his legs begin to feel too weak to hold him because of the nerve damage in his back. Despite his condition, he still works out regularly, though with only light weights, and he still sticks to a bodybuilder's diet, though for only three meals daily. He has also encountered a host of health complications that have severely impacted his mobility, and he now relies on crutches due to spinal cord problems and other issues. In 2020, he revealed to Joe Rogan that he had spent millions on 13 surgeries and that his last option to get his legs fixed was to cut off the nerves.
