The renowned Mexican actor and screenwriter Eric del Castillo suffered a fall in 2021 while visiting his daughter Verónica del Castillo at her home, resulting in severe back pain due to an injury. The incident led to his hospitalization and surgery to relieve his discomfort, which prevented him from standing for long periods.
His daughter Verónica del Castillo provided details about the surgical procedure her 90-year-old father underwent, who is in the recovery process. The intervention included a 'facet block' in the spine and the application of heat to the nerve endings responsible for the pain, techniques aimed at minimizing the discomfort Eric was experiencing.
Despite the surgery, Verónica assured that Eric is in good health and, before the procedure, was in optimal condition. After the accident, the actor was hospitalized for further medical evaluations, including X-rays of the skull to rule out serious damage. Despite a slight arrhythmia detected, doctors confirmed that his blood pressure is excellent.
Eric del Castillo had previously mentioned the need for surgery to address the pain caused by the fall at his daughter’s house. During an interview, he explained that he would wait to finish his work commitments before undergoing the procedure, which he deemed necessary to relieve his discomfort while standing.
