Actor Michael J. Fox has revealed that he has suffered several injuries as a result of his Parkinson’s disease. The “Back to the Future” star, who has been living with Parkinson’s for over 30 years, opened up about the physical toll the disease has taken on him during an interview on a popular talk show.
Fox discussed how Parkinson’s affects his body, causing tremors and stiffness, and shared that he had suffered a number of falls and injuries as a result. He recounted how he had fractured his arm after a fall in his kitchen and how he had broken his hand after another fall while walking on the street.
The actor has been a vocal advocate for Parkinson’s research and has been involved in raising awareness about the disease for many years. He started the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research, which has raised millions of dollars to fund research into treatments and cures for the disease.
Parkinson’s is a progressive neurological disorder that affects movement and causes tremors, stiffness, and difficulty with balance and coordination. While there are treatments available to manage symptoms, there is currently no cure for the disease.
Fox’s comments have shed light on the physical toll Parkinson’s can take on those living with the disease, as well as the importance of ongoing research to develop better treatments and ultimately find a cure.
Despite his struggles with Parkinson’s, Fox remains optimistic and continues to advocate for research and raise awareness about the disease. He has also continued to act, appearing in several TV shows and movies in recent years.
The actor’s bravery and resilience in the face of Parkinson’s have inspired many, and his advocacy has helped to raise significant funding for research into the disease. As Fox continues to share his experiences and raise awareness, he is making a difference in the lives of those living with Parkinson’s and helping to bring us closer to a cure.
