Chronic Pain
In 1969, Bruce Lee endured a serious back injury during a training session due to inadequate warm-ups. Damaging a sacral nerve, he faced intense muscle spasms, leading to weeks of bed rest and heightened stress. Initially told he might not walk or practice martial arts again, Lee, determined to recover, underwent extensive therapy and even designed a specialized bed. Though he resumed training and utilized medication, chronic back pain plagued him for the rest of his life.
