This is indeed very sad to hear, Ronnie Coleman who was once The King of the bodybuilding world has now been battling through a series of major surgeries over the past few years.
The 53-year old bodybuilding legend Ronnie who was once at the pinnacle of the most prestigious bodybuilding show Mr. Olympia has now been apparently reduced to a wheelchair after 10 major surgeries.
Ronnie underwent his 10th Back surgery to fix 4 broken screws in his BACK. A day after the surgery, Ronnie shared an update on his Instagram saying ‘the surgery went successfully’!
But now the 8x Mr. Olympia and the GOAT of bodybuilding say he may never walk unassisted again after the questionable surgical procedures.
In a recent video call answering a question “Will he ever walk again” by Muscular Development’s Ron Harris Ronnie reveal:
“I don’t know if that’ll [Walk] ever happen because I’ve had too much damage done to my body from all these surgeries a lot of it has to do with the way the surgeon performed the surgery and the surgeon that I’ve had the last three surgeries been really bad and caused a lot of damage to my body so I don’t know if I’ll be able to walk….
but I’m gonna give it my best shot but I think if that surgeon had to perform these surgeries right then I would have been walking a long long time ago!”
Ronnie talks about the Surgeon’s questionable surgical procedures and also reveal the huge cost of his last three surgeries which was around $2 Million.
“Just the way he [Surgoen] did everything and performed everything it was like he was kind of doing these surgeries to make money…”
“Every surgery I’ve had done was like $300,000 to $500,000 so the last three surgeries I had almost spend $2 million dollars!”

Just imagine the pain of this legend who’s spent much of his life as a 300lbs mass monster pumping iron every day and now being confined to hospitals and not able to even walk properly after spending huge some of his hard earned money!

We send our Best Wishes to bodybuilding King Coleman and hope to see him back on his feet again soon!
Them legs are light weights so lift them up and walk through the pain.
Yeah Buddy!! Light Weight!!!
Still in denial??? What a load of crap. It’s ONLY because of the “bad surgeons”? What was the reason you needed surgeries in the first place? Bueller…. Bueller….
I pray that you will wall again Ronnie…. and hopefully I can shake your hand when you do.
Love you Ronnie Coleman I will pray you will be fine. I had a whole in my stomach for 2 years. You can do it. I met you once, I think your a big believer in god so I know you will be fine.
Hey Ronnie, keep your head up, you have that great attitude. If indeed those surgeons messed up then you need to take legal action for malpractice. Majority of these dumb doctors nowadays are just in it for the money and want to screw customers (I mean patients) for every dollar they can.
Fans still support you. Met you once at 2016 Olympia expo, you signed my magazine, Looking back I think it was really something that you showed up for your many fans despite your discomfort. Thanks for making my week man….praying for you and your full recovery.
Stop blaming others for your continued lifting weights after surgery
Never stop doing what you love and that’s the difference between Ronnie and you…
Dearest Ronnie,
I can’t speak for all of your fans but you were and STILL ARE a legend. Legends don’t give up without a huge fight.
The same determination, pain, commitment, and tenacity that led you to become the ONLY 8 TIME MR. Olympia is still within you.
The same God that led you to superstardom is with you and is able to work wonders.
We are PRAYING for you to hell up fully and quickly.
God bless you,
Deacon Michael James
It hurts my heart to see you in this state ,be strong ,have right attitude sych ,there is God in heaven who is able to fix the broken limp..praying for you my legend
Blaming healthcare providers for your mistakes in life is a cop out. 99% of physicians are not in it for the money. Clearly anyone who thinks that has not worked in healthcare or helped others.
Ah, you’re so cute. Take the big money away and you think 99% would stay? If you don’t think the healthcare system is ruined by money, consider that medical bankruptcies, almost unheard of outside of the United States, are the MAJORITY of bankruptcies in America.
Blame the surgeons and don’t mention the years spent over-training after injury? Mate this is what happens when you don’t lose some weight and do some yoga.
