Kim Menzies is currently suffering from a painful health conditionthat might or might not require surgical intervention in the future. Stemming from her time served in the military, Kim’s health condition has apparently even affected how she walks. Here is what is going on with her.
Kim’s underlying health issues
The 52-year-old has recently come out and spoken about a painful health condition that is affecting her day-to-day life badly. As per Screenrant, it’s the reason behind her walk which has always puzzled fans since her first-ever on-screen stint. Kim, who walks with her knees bent inwards, gives the impression as if she’s knock-kneed. The main reason for this condition is what she went through during her time in the military.
Kim’s time in the military
Kim addressed her health condition and explained that she was ‘airborne’ during her time in the army. This means that she had to jump off moving planes frequently. Being someone who was born with a dislocated hip, the frequent jumping didn’t help. In fact, she ended up with arthritis in one of her hips. She had also dislocated her hip twice and had gotten it fixed.
Possible surgery in store for Kim
With her walk getting progressively worse, Kim might have to get surgery to fix her hip. She said that she would see a doctor soon, and figure out the next step to get her knee and hip corrected. Her job demands her to walk up and down stairs, and her injuries are affecting her work. She is also thinking of getting a hip replacement done in the next ten years.
