After having his first operation and falling at home, comedian Leon Schuster said he was “not in a good place” after the second procedure.
Renowned for his practical jokes, Schuster had his first surgery in August 2023 after hurting himself while filming “Mr. Bones 3” and falling from a van.
Following the procedure, the seasoned entertainer, 72, underwent intensive physical treatment to regain his ability to walk.
Schuster revealed in an interview with YOU that once he fell again, his recuperation had a significant setback.
“Man, I’ve been through a really rough time, like, pure hell.” I’m feeling down. I’ve had my first back surgery over ten months ago; this has been going on for too long,” he remarked.

“My discomfort can only be alleviated by 50%, the doctor informed me. It’s an extremely delicate procedure, and mistakes can have fatal repercussions. He said to YOU, “I’m lying awake now, thinking about whether I’ll make it or not.
