The inflammation came from a “ruptured bursa sac that will eventually heal,” said The Rock. “I’ve had much worse, and as always let pain – and tequila – be the guide,” added Johnson.

Dwayne Johnson answered the question in his latest update. “Back to work. Thank you all for the love and healing/medicine recommendations. I’m good,” wrote the WWE icon. Johnson has been training in mixed martial arts for his upcoming film.

On Tuesday, while addressing his social media followers, The Rock recounted every major injury he has suffered during his pro wrestling career. “I tore my quad… Tore my abductor off my pelvis, tore my entire abdominal wall, I’ve had four knee surgeries, tore my Achilles, ruptures in my back, (and) completely reconstructed shoulder,” recounted Dwayne Johnson.

While The People’s Champion has suffered far more serious injuries, he sought treatment for the elbow injury. The Black Adam star even asked his fans about their knowledge of the injury.

It seems like the 52-year-old Hollywood action star will continue to train and film The Smashing Machine without stressing his elbows.
