Eddie Van Halen Quotes

Having a normal knee would make life a lot easier.

I've had tendinitis since college.

I've had some surgery and shoulder problems.

I tore up my knee break dancing. I have no idea how that happened. Apparently these legs are meant for swimming, but not dancing. I was watching an MTV video, thinking, 'I can do this.' Definitely not. I heard a pop. I sat down and it blew up like a watermelon. I had to go to the hospital and get surgery.

I am falling apart. My hand is falling apart. I can't shake hands. I had arthritis, and I had an operation for it.

I'd just like to be able to walk without pain or run without a limp.

I can't even touch my toes!

I was told as a teenager I'd never box again. I had a really bad wrist injury; I couldn't even shadow box for six months. I went through surgery just to try and manage it.

I do Pilates. And that's best for me... because I can't really do any other sports any more because of my muscles.

I've had back problems basically my whole career.

I had been wrestling with a fracture in my elbow and a slight tear in my triceps for quite some time, but it was continuing to get worse. As I worked through it, I ended up dislocating my shoulder and tearing my labrum. All of these injuries were on the same arm, so things like working out or even sleeping became increasingly difficult.
