Braun Strowman discharged from hospital following knee infection
Braun Strowman is on the mend.
The former WWE star wrote on social media Friday he was discharged from the hospital following an infection to his knee that required surgery.
“Discharged!!! Lots of antibiotics to take now and gotta take it easy for a few more days before back in the gym. But I can’t wait to get home and see my pups!!! Again thank you for all the prayers and well wishes from around the word. I’m so blessed to have the support and love from so many. All Glory to God for his mercy and love,” he wrote.
Earlier this week, the former WWE star noted he was in the hospital. By Thursday, the infection became serious enough that he had undergone surgery to drain fluid from his knee.
“I had an infection in my bursa around my patella in my knee, and it got out of control. So they went in this morning. They removed the bursa from my knee, drained a bunch of fluid out of it, and then left the wound open to continue to drain. It’s going to be a couple of days still, taking it easy. I think I gotta stay in here one more night and then I get to go home. And then, yeah, recovery. Still got a ways to go to get over this hump all the way with the infection and stuff, but the pain is finally starting to subside some. It doesn’t feel like my kneecap is going to explode off anymore,” he wrote at the time.
Strowman was released from his WWE contract in May of last year, but continues to have a relationship with the USA Network. His show ‘Everything on the Menu,’ which is produced by WWE, was recently picked up for a second season.
