Ronnie Coleman must undergo surgery once again.

It appears that Ronnie Coleman is still facing fallout from the injuries he’s suffered through his career. While things seemed hopeful and heading towards a potentially brighter future for the former eight time Mr. Olympia, it seems that things have hit a snag yet again.

Ronnie Coleman must once again undergo surgery for his back.

It’s a truly unfortunate turn of events as it seemed that his last corrective surgery could be the final hurdle the former champ needed to cross in order to begin walking unassisted once again. Sadly it seems that Ronnie Coleman will once again have to undergo corrective surgery for broken screws embedded in his back.

Trying my best to get this chest bigger. The only problem I seem to be having is that every time I’m seem to be making progress, a setback occurs. This time after my Dr visit yesterday, he informed me that there was 4 broken screws in my back. He told me that he needed to perform surgery immediately. The broken screws were holding a fusion together in my lower back and the discs were not going to fuse if I didn’t fix the broken screws and this would lead to greater problems in my back. You guys pray for your boy because I definitely need it.
