Fox News
Michael J. Fox reveals that in addition to the tremors he experiences from Parkinson's disease, he's also in severe pain much of the time.
In an interview with The Times, he elaborated, saying, "It’s not so much pain from the movement, but from the not moving. It’s when you freeze, and in that freezing that not-movement becomes infused with all this energy and it becomes this burning, impending thing that never happens." Emily Trainham is an entertainment editor for Fox News Digital.
He added, "I don’t want to get the violins out. I’ve broken my hand, my elbow, my humerus, my other humerus, my shoulder, my face and some other s--- too. And all that stuff is amplified by the electricity of the tremors. So, yes, it hurts a lot. But what you learn is that nobody gives a s---. It’s just life. It doesn’t matter. You suck it up and you move on. And there might be a story to tell in it. But only that. There’s no chit that you can present to a window for a refund."
