This Morning star rushed to hospital AGAIN just hours after A&E dash, saying ‘pain is off the scale’
This Morning star Matthew Wright has been rushed to hospital AGAIN – just hours after his last A&E dash.
The presenter, 59, took to social media to reveal his pain was “off the scale”.
Posting on X, Matthew told concerned fans: “Back in hospital, another ambulance, pain off the scale. Scans and stuff next.”
It is Matthew’s second trip to hospital in 48 hours.
Yesterday, he told his followers that he was rushed in by paramedics on the day he was due to move house.
Matthew, who earlier had shared a snap of himself surrounded by moving boxes, wrote: “Turns out my bad neck is actually quite bad. Indebted to paramedics Steph and Miko for getting me to hospital and dealing with worst of pain.
“Doesn’t look like I’ll be moving house today”
He later joked that he was enjoying his pain relief, laughing: “Two shots of morphine so far, one diazepam, 1000mg paracetemol and it’s not even 7am #BreakfastOfChampions”.
In the days leading up to his first trip to A&E, Matthew had hinted that he wasn’t feeling on top form.
At the weekend, he posted: “Neck hurts from falling asleep like crumpled tissue b4 ENG/SWI…still moving house and trying not to panic….but also panicking.”
He also joked that he felt like a “middle aged mess.”
But after his initial medical dash on Tuesday, he appeared to be on the mend.
Last night he told fans he was home and should be back on his feet in no time.
He wrote: “Home! Thanks @uclh thanks @nhs and thanks again Steph and Miko the paramedics who were just amazing and ta too for all your good wishes. It was quite a night! Got to rest up a while and keep taking the meds. hopefully all will be good”
And earlier this morning he also seemed to be on fine form.
“One more day of rest and I reckon I’ll be good to go again!” he said in an update to fans.
When to seek help
You might have gotten used to your neck pain, but you shouldn't put up with it.
The NHS states that you shouldn’t experience the pain for longer than two weeks.
Here’s when you should see your GP
- if the pain lasts longer than a couple of weeks
- if painkillers aren’t working
- you’re worried about the pain
- you have other symptoms such as pins and needles or a cold arm
Medics state if you’re experiencing pain then you should avoid doing anything that could be dangerous because you can’t move your neck, such as driving or cycling.
Unless your doctor tells you otherwise, you should also keep your neck moving and don’t wear a neck collar.
“Slept some in a chair and have definitely improved enough to lie down for a bit. Me and the family quite overwhelmed by your kindness and concern. Thanks so much x”
Unfortunately, in the hours that followed, things appeared to have taken a bad turn again.
After Matthew posted that he was indeed back in the hospital for tests, his followers sent their support.
“Hope you get better soon x” wrote one pal.
“Omg Matthew poor you! x” added another.
“Bloody hell, hope you get sorted soon,” chipped in a third. “Know how debilitating a bad back is………sending healing vibes.”
