Michael J. Fox Battling To Walk!

Gutsy Parkinson’s patient needs help after spinal surgery

BRAVE Parkinson’s patient Michael J. Fox is struggling to walk again nearly two months after a risky operation on his spine!

The 57-year-old Spin City star seemed to teeter and needed the supporting arms of his wife, Tracy Pollan, children and a stranger on a June 24 family outing in New York City, spywitnesses report.

Sources note despite his back surgery, the creeping condition he’s battled for 26 years slowly freezes up muscles, turning patients into helpless invalids before killing them.

But a rep for the courageous Back to the Future actor insists his back problems and spinal surgery are “unrelated to his Parkinson’s,” and tried to be upbeat about his recovery.
