Michael J. Fox<\/strong>‘s health problems are no secret to the world — but they’re far more dire than just about anyone could’ve imagined … ’cause the guy nearly became an amputee.<\/p>\n The beloved actor got into the full extent of his medical hurdles with Town & Country<\/strong>, opening up about just how banged up he’s been in recent years … and revealing that he practically had to have a part of his body surgically removed.<\/p>\n MJF says, “My hand got infected and then I almost lost it. It was a tsunami of misfortune.”<\/p>\n The context here is Mike discussing all the injuries he’s sustained of late — including breaking two of his arms, a shoulder, his orbital\/cheek bone and one of his hands … which somehow led to a far more dire diagnosis, albeit … one that thankfully never fully manifested.<\/p>\n On top of these dings, Michael also underwent surgery in 2018 to have a spinal tumor removed — which was unrelated to his Parkinson’s disease. While rehabbing from that, he suffered a nasty fall … and says he broke his other arm in the process.<\/p>\n In this T&C interview, he continues to reflect on his mortality — just like he did earlier this year with CBS … where he said he didn’t see himself living past 80.<\/p>\n Here, Mike says … “One day I\u2019ll run out of gas … Certainly, if I were to pass away tomorrow, it would be premature, but it wouldn\u2019t be unheard of. And so, no, I don\u2019t fear that.”<\/p>\n Michael’ been battling Parkinson’s since 1991, when he was in his late 20s. Considering that he continues to fight and be well enough to live a public life is nothing short of a miracle.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/imagez.tmz.com\/image\/de\/16by9\/2023\/04\/30\/decd72ff824b4f928eeba2c47b0e66a8_md.png\")
