Ross is no stranger to battling health problems. In 2021, news emerged that the WWE Hall of Famer was diagnosed with skin cancer. Fortunately, he shared a positive update about it in April this year. According to Ross, his wounds had reduced by 43 percent following treatment.

Just a few weeks ago, he informed the world about another scare after he suffered a fall. Ross’ present complaint is about his back pain. He tweeted that “the sciatica is absolutely kicking my a**”. Ross said the condition had forced him to alter his plans and had impeded his walk.

According to medical professionals, sciatica is a form of nerve pain that affects a person’s back. The problem mostly occurs due to overgrowth in bone or when a herniated disk causes the nerve to experience stress.

Having detailed his troubles, the septuagenarian then asked his followers for help. They put forward their suggestion and even recommended him to catch up with another WWE legend.

Fans refer Ross to DDP, share healing methods

Sciatica is a very common form of pain. According to the Cleveland Clinic, sciatica is experienced by about 40 percent of people in the United States of America during their lifetime. It also mostly affects people over the age of 20. So, it wasn’t surprising to see many users empathizing with Ross while sharing their own ordeal.

A few of them even asked him to approach fellow WWE Hall of Famer Diamond Dallas Page. These users shared how DDP Yoga has been beneficial for them.

Apart from earning a reputation as a pro wrestler, the 67-year-old has garnered a massive following through yoga.

He practices the form and has been instrumental in helping other wrestlers, including Shawn Michaels, Chris Jericho and Jake ‘The Snake’ Roberts.

But not just DDP, another WWE superstar was suggested as a go-to man for Ross.

Former WWE writer and pro wrestling legend Vince Russo, however, had a different opinion. He asked his old friend to follow a more common approach.
