AlecBaldwin is relieved to have undergone a long overdue surgery but is in “incredible pain”
On Sunday, the 65-year-old actor posted a video on Instagram, where he updated his followers after undergoing a long-awaited hip surgery last Tuesday — and now he is powering through the pain.“I had my hip replaced on Tuesday of this past week. I had my left hip done in 2018, five years ago, and I had the other one done five days ago,” Baldwin told the camera.
“The pain goes away gradually but it is incredibly painful,” he said. “But as we keep saying in my house, ‘It’s the pain that’s going to end the pain.'”Baldwin revealed that he needed the hip replacement for two years. However, he had to push it back due to scheduling and failing the glucose test. He added, “So to limp around with this condition for two years was tough, but I didn’t have the time to do it work wise or schedule wise. I didn’t have four to six weeks to limit myself that way. Or my glucose issues affected that, so it was very tough. We would line up a date to do the surgery and I would fail my blood sugar test. But I got all that together and we had the operation done. And it hurts. It really, really hurts.
“But the painkillers they gave me the night I was in the hospital…Tuesday night I took the painkillers and, man, I haven’t been that high since 1977,” he quipped. “It’s incredible and I just couldn’t take it because you can’t function. I don’t think they really kill the pain as much as they shut your brain off.”
