Former WWE Champion Kurt Angle gives an update on his recent surgery

The WWE Hall of Famer, Kurt Angle, had double knee surgery by the end of last month. The surgery procedure was successful and Angle is currently in rehabilitation. He is very much positive about recovering quickly and getting back to his regular routine prior to his surgery.

Recently, on the 68th episode of The Kurt Angle Show named TNA Slammiversary 2007, he gave an update about his surgery. The co-host, Paul Bromwell, asked him how he was doing and Angle claimed knee surgery is difficult, but he is in rehabilitation.

Angle said, “I’m not doing much better, it’s pretty brutal, especially when you have both knees done at the same time, I’ve never went through anything this difficult. I also have a little bit of a back problem so I can’t use my back, so I’m pretty much useless. When I did the surgery what they found out, they found a screw in my left knee just hanging out in my knee socket.”

He added, “I started rehab the next day. They are pretty on you, they stay on you and they want you to work through it. The quicker, the more you do without injuring yourself, the quicker you will heal. They’ve made me do a lot of rehab ever since I got out of the hospital.”

Angle talked about his schedule and said he goes to a heat rehabilitation three times a week which is near his house. Also, the rest four days of the week, he does five different sessions of rehabilitation at his home.

Why does Angle have a double knee replacement surgery?

In his recent podcast episode, Kurt Angle also gave the reason he needed to have his double knee replacement surgery. 

Angle said, “From all the injuries and everything, they stayed bent. It was wearing on my knees and that’s how I got arthritis in my knees because I couldn’t flex my quad, extension fully. So, my quad was always on fire when I was walking.”
