"I've had back issues for a really long time, and about a year ago, I got it looked at," Feldman tells ET. "The doctors were kind of like, 'You should do this. But if you're operating without much pain in the world, there's no rush.' And then when quarantine happened, my wife (Michelle) was like, 'What better time to go through surgery? You're not going to work or anything,' So I had more imaging done and the doctor was like, 'Oh, never mind. This is really bad. You need to do this immediately. You're this close to irreversible cord damage.' So I went and they put a hole in my neck, drilled a bunch of calcified bone out of my spine, took out some bad disks and put in fake disks to little silver balls into my spine."
