Tannaz Irani On Health Issues Which Left Her In A Wheelchair: "I Had A Problem With Walking..."

Motivational speaker and actor Tannaz Irani has opened up about a particularly challenging period in her life, recalling how a series of health issues in 2021 left her wheelchair-bound for an extended time. Speaking about that difficult phase, Tannaz revealed on the Inner Habit podcast that her struggles took a toll on her mental well-being.

"I Had A Problem With Walking In 2021"

She said, "I had a problem with walking in 2021. I was wondering if it's just a patch or maybe I put on too much weight and I was thinking of going to a chiropractor. I kept thinking ‘What's wrong with this hip?' I just couldn't get the better of it. Because I thought I was putting on a lot of weight, I joined the MMA which increased the severity of the problem... So, I went and got my back checked, thinking something was wrong with my spine, and did that treatment for almost three months."

"I Still Couldn't Put Weight On My Leg..."

She added,  "My back became ok, but I still couldn't put weight on my leg. Then I started limping and that too in a very odd manner. Then I had to take a couple of MRIs because my knees started giving away because of the odd movements. By then, everything was compromised in my body: my ankles, knees, and back."

She recalled a vacation abroad where she had to rely on a wheelchair. She said that every time she used to go out in the evening, she would crawl back to her room with severe pain. She was always on painkillers.

"I Didn't Even Want To Live Anymore..."

Finally, Tannaz underwent hip replacement surgery. She mentioned, "After the surgery, on day zero, when they made me stand up, I realized that one leg was longer than the other, and I completely freaked out. I screamed, not out loud, but from the bottom of my heart. I just couldn't believe, for my entire life, I had to walk like this. I felt that this was a cruel joke that somebody was playing on me. I didn't even want to live anymore."
