What Is Carmella’s Pregnancy Related ‘Drop Foot’ & Is It Life Threatening? Here’s Everything You Need To Know

Former WWE star Carmella hasn’t been seen in the squared circle for a while now. The 36-year-old welcomed her first child alongside husband Corey Graves back in November last year, but her maternity leave continued as she has been suffering some severe post-pregnancy health issues. But what exactly is the disease she is dealing with? Can it lead to a death-dealing condition in the long run? Looking for answers to all your burning questions? You’ve come to the right place.

The Princess of Staten Island has endured a lot of physical as well as psychological challenges. She underwent the pain of two miscarriages before finally experiencing the magic of motherhood. But then it brought in another demon that came in the form of a Drop Foot.

How Concerning is Carmella’s Current Health Complication? Explained

For those unversed with the issue, the drop foot is a faulty condition of nerves, bones, and muscles that makes a person unable to lift the front part of their foot. It is a painful and uncomfortable condition that hinders the affected person from properly walking on the ground. While the ailment is quite common and usually goes away within weeks or months with proper medical intervention, it can sometimes lead to more grave issues if left untreated for long, depending on the specific case. But it’s generally not fatal.

During a recent appearance on the Nikki & Brie Show, Carmella revealed that she’s been dealing with the aforementioned disease since the birth of her child where she had to endure a total of 60 hours of labor. The couple named their newborn Dimitri Paul Polinsky and tried to let go of the past pain by embracing his arrival.
