Seven surgeries & living in agony after breaking his neck in stunt
SLY STALLONE, 77, CRIPPLED FOR LIFE

MOVIE he-man Sylvester Stallone has just undergone a seventh surgery for a spine injury suffered doing an action scene 14 years ago and now is urging other stars to avoid doing dangerous stunts.

The agonizing, crippling injury occurred during the 2010 shooting of his first Expendables action flick when 5-foot10, 190-pound Sly was body-slammed by 6-foot-2 pro grappler “Stone Cold” Steve Austin and suffered a fractured neck.

Now at 77, the actor is still going under the knife for the break, which prompted docs to put a metal plate in his neck.
