The life of an XGames star isn’t easy on the body. And Carey Hart can tell you first hand. Due to multiple back fractures from his career as a Motorcross driver, he is in constant pain.

That’s why this week he underwent “lower spine disc replacement”. He explains on IG:
“And the journey begins. Full day of being stuck in a tube, needles in the arm, and ready to get my back fixed on Thursday. Thanks so much @discmd, Dr. Bray, and Layla for everything!!!!! Let’s do this ????,” he wrote.
“Lower spine disc replacement was a success!!! up and out of bed and walking, just a few hours post surgery. Been up 5 times since this. Special thank you to @discmd, Dr Bray Who performed the surgery, and Layla who truly makes this all happen,” said Hart in his back surgery update. “The staff here is nothing short of amazing. I am very lucky to have this team to bolt me back together.”
Corey thanked wife P!nk and his kids, 4½-year-old son Jameson and 10-year-old daughter Willow, for their support.
“My son Jameson had mama bring this sloth to keep me company while in the hospital,” said the dad. “And a special thank you, to my amazing wife/nurse who has taken amazing care of me through all of this. I love you baby. Thanks to all my friends for the well wishes. Unfortunately the drugs I’m on, I can’t see my phone very well. I will respond when I can read again ??.”
Hope you’re back on the bike soon, Carey!
