Went to a highly acclaimed orthopedic surgeon yesterday to discuss my knee. It’s been brutal for a couple of years, he did testing and x-rays on me. So, both of my shoulders & knees need to be replaced. Four joints,” the star posted on X. Taz added his issues stem from pushing too hard in the weight room, not from his time in the ring. 

Instead of doing the replacements immediately, Taz plans to seek out regenerative procedures to try to alleviate pain. 

At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
