Mark Wright has revealed he could be out of action for three months due to a series of injuries, including a back fracture.
The reality star and presenter, 39, ‘heard a pop’ around five weeks ago but dismissed the pain as a muscle issue.
However, things turned out to be much worse than he initially thought, as shown in an ultrasound.
The ex-Towie personality now realises he’s been ‘training too hard’, having also fractured his rib mere months ago.
While the extent of his back fracture is yet to be determined, Mark has admitted that the situation is ‘not looking good’.
Taking to Instagram on his page dedicated to golf, Mark began to his followers: You’ve probably been thinking, “Where’s he been? Where’s the golf content?” Well, remember that stress fracture I had on my rib, on the right side, a couple of months back?
‘About five weeks ago I felt a pop, or a tear, in my back, and I just thought it was a muscular thing.
‘But five weeks on, and it’s not better, so I went for an ultrasound scan last night, and it looks like I’ve got another fracture.’
He went on to say that he thinks he sustained both fractures ‘at the same time’, having been in pain since February, all the while he’s still been golfing.
‘So, I’m here about to have a CT scan to see the results; it’s not looking good,’ he added in his video from the hospital.
‘It’s been a devastating year, but that’s what you get, I suppose, for training – doing too much, trying to get down too quick.’
Going forward, he understands that he needs to ‘manage his body’, and if his back fracture is ‘deep’, it could take 12 weeks until he’s back to normal.
Mark stated that he’s ‘absolutely gutted’.
In his caption, he shared additional details on how he’s dealing with the setback of two stress fractures.
