The following is a new article from TMZ.com:
Hulk Hogan — More Back Surgery, More Pain
Hulk Hogan just underwent yet another back surgery yesterday — but even though Hulk is currently in “a lot of pain” … he says he’s confident this procedure finally did the trick.
TMZ has learned Hulk — who recently re-injured his back collecting seashells — had a spinal chord stimulator inserted into his back during a “very, very painful” procedure at a Florida hospital.
A spinal chord stimulator is a device that is inserted below the skin, and uses electric currents to alleviate the effects of chronic pain.
Sources close to Hulk tell TMZ he’s “upbeat” about the SCS — and hopes he’ll be allowed to go home soon.
UPDATE: Hulk was discharged from the hospital late last night … but re-admitted himself this morning because he was still in “excruciating” pain.
