Stiff Person Syndrome is a rare neurological disorder characterized by progressive muscular rigidity and stiffness, primarily affecting the truncal muscles.
Drogba has revealed the severity of his condition, which has left him in constant pain and struggling with mobility.
“The whole thing is, every day I’m in pain, I’m not mobile… I find it very difficult to bath, use the washroom and that kind of things,” he said, highlighting the challenges he faces even with everyday activities.
Drogba also shared instances where he’s been unable to move while in public, experiencing excruciating neck pain.
“As I am talking to you right now, it wants to come but it is stopping… The syndrome affects your brain, spinal cord, which radiates to your leg and affects your speech as well… And right now, it has affected everything.”
Despite numerous hospital visits, the actor, also known as Drogba, revealed that he was unresponsive to treatment, leading to a prolonged diagnosis period.
“That is where they noticed that I’m suffering from Stiff Person Syndrome, and it took them four months to diagnose me,” he said
