Flex Wheeler, widely regarded as The Sultan of Symmetry in the bodybuilding community, is undoubtedly one of the greatest bodybuilders in history. As a matter of fact, he is Arnold Schwarzenegger’s favorite bodybuilder. However, he has been the subject of over 40 surgeries. From acquiring a severe kidney condition to getting his right leg amputated, it is still amusing how the legend manages to stay positive at this stage. He even had some trouble with his arms recently where he had to go through yet another surgery. Now, the Sultan of Symmetry shared another heartbreaking news regarding his post-op health, that is stopping him from leading a normal life.

Wheeler took to his Instagram account and shared a video, sharing the challenges that he has been facing after the surgery that he recently went through. He begins by saying that he had all his hopes put in for having the mobility in his arms restored after the surgery. However, the result has not been as he had expected it to be.

Silently suffering through pain in his left shoulder has probably got him into nerve damage, which is now being repaired. He wrote, “The outcome has been nothing short of devastating, leaving me disheartened and disillusioned. The emotional and financial investment I poured into this endeavor now feels like a futile expenditure, compounding the weight of my anguish.”
