Cristina Buccino took a big risk. TO Diva and Woman the 39-year-old showgirl and entrepreneur says she has underwent emergency surgery at the beginning of the year. “This thing changed me inside”he confesses to the weekly.
Beautiful and sinuous, she shows no signs of advancing age. At the threshold of Anta the former castaway of‘Island of the Famous reveals: “Perhaps, I see myself as more beautiful than when I was younger”. Then he returns to the critical moment, when she was suddenly greatly debilitated.”I received an important teaching. That is, everything you have can disappear or turn into a worse life situation in an instant.”explains.
It all happened after a kickboxing training session. Buccino felt a strong pain in her back. She even had cortisone injections three times a day to make it disappear. But it was of no avail. So she went to see a specialist. “Just returned to Rome – reveals again – I had an MRI and I was diagnosed with a herniated disc with major complications. The hernia had burst and some fragments were tearing the sciatic nerve. For this reason, in addition to my back, I felt excruciating pain in my leg and foot. Not only was I not standing, but in practice one foot didn’t bend as it should”.
Cristina had to undergo surgery immediately. She did it in Rome, where she stayed for two months: “They told me that if they didn’t clean up all the fragments well I would had serious movement problems. The convalescence was very long. I had surgery on February 29th and have been well for about a month. I did a lot of physiotherapy and pilates, but above all this adventure changed me inside”. What happened to her taught her “to give the right dimension to many things that previously I would have taken for granted”.
