Luger gives an update on his health, claiming that he is in great shape.
Lex has suffered some health issues over the years. Over a decade ago, he suffered a spinal stroke which limited his mobility. Despite his struggles through the years, Lex Luger says he is currently in phenomenal health and has great mobility. Lex tells Sports Illustrated that he is “very healthy.”
“Other than my mobility issues from my spinal cord issue, I’m very healthy, and that’s a miracle of God after what I put my body through. I usually use a wheelchair or a walker, but I can walk some.
“I have great mobility; I drive,” he continued. “But you know how your power will go out for a moment during a storm? That can happen to me, and I’m on the floor before I know it. So I take a lot of precautions. I live totally independently, which wasn’t supposed to happen. I don’t look the same because I don’t hit the weights like I used to, but I’m healthy.”
