As PWInsider.com reported last week, former WWF star John Nord aka The Berzerker had pulled out of a series of upcoming appearances due to several health issues stemming from a knee replacement surgery.
Joe Nord, John's son, told Bring Me The News in Minnesota that his father is facing the potential amputation of his leg.
Joe told the outlet that John's knee became infected after the replacement surgery and doctors were forced to remove the artifical knee to treat the infection.
"Once they felt the infection had been taken care of, they then went back in and put the joint back into my dad's leg. The doctors have identified two main infections, one of which is now in his bloodstream. If it doesn't go well and the infection continues to make ground in the next few weeks, they will likely have to remove the joint again and potentially amputate his leg from above the knee."
A Go Fund Me Campaign to assist Nord has been launched by his son at this link.
