Brandon Hackett initially assumed he had slipped a disk when deadlifting 660 pounds.
A superfit teenager who thought he'd slipped a disk deadlifting 660 pounds was shocked to discover his back pain was a tumor that left his legs paralyzed.
Hackett, then 19, first noticed he was experiencing back pain in July 2021 while training for a weightlifting competition. After visiting his doctor, he was told it was tight muscles and started undergoing physiotherapy. At home, he collapsed in his bedroom. After visiting the hospital again, he says he was told to go home—where he collapsed again. He then returned to the hospital needing to use a walker.
"I'm quite a chill person so I wasn't really too worried but I was confused and thought"this is not normal." It was really scary and weird with a tingling sensation that didn't go away, every time I tried to move it was like my whole body was getting electrocuted. It felt like my legs were cemented to the floor and I couldn't even move my toes."
