this guy is an absolute mess i dont think its going to be a long time before kurt gets really seriously injured.
One item that is consistent is that Kurt Angle has been taking very high dosages of painkillers. One source told me that it became so much a problem, he would go thru several refills in less than a month. Since painkillers like Vicodin are controlled
substances, a physician can only prescribe a certain dosage at a time (IE: 100 tablets with 3 refills). An example of a normal prescription would be 1 tablet every 4-6 hours, which would equal about a three week duration per refill. And you can just walk into a pharmacy and refill a prescription because you took all your pills in a week.
Another problem which has worsened over time, is Angle's serious mood swings. This is a very common issue with people taking Vicodin and other prescriptions.
Interesting enough with Vicodin, you can intensify the painkilling effect not by taking more Vicodin, but adding a simple Tylenol. The Acetaminophen in a Tylenol intensifies the painkilling ability in the Codeine. Unfortunately though when you become addicted to painkillers, you take the higher levels of Codeine to satisfy your body. So even if Angle was taking the medication for pain, the addiction leads someone to take higher levels of codeine ingested hence a problem.
Angle has seriously suffered from injuries in his career, take a look at this
-: Angle's family had a history of heart disease
-: His head has grown immensely as a side effect of HGH.
-: Angle has been described as having physically aged 15 years in the past 5.

-: He's ripped ligaments in his ankle, and he's dislocated his shoulder.
-: Angle trained for rougly 9 hours a day for the Olympics.
-: Angle was told years ago that he is risking paralysis by wrestling. Every time he gets in there he is risking it. Angle's reaction? He found a painkiller and carried on.
-: He is in non-stop pain all the time and struggles to get out of bed.
-: Many describe Angle as someone who simply doesn't have a stop button. He doesn't know when enough is enough.
-: He doesn't allow himself to think about quitting. He punches himself in the head if the thought even starts to flow through his head.
-: The nerve damage in his body is so bad that his triceps are basically non-existent.
-: Angle NEEDS surgery that WILL end his career. He is delaying it as long as he can
-: WWE officials used to call Angle's wife when they were worried about his health, because he REFUSED to let them know he was in pain.
-: Angle's wife told Angle that she would force him to stop if it got to the point where he was risking not being able to play with their daughter. She said that there comes a point where you have to stop. Angle's response? "I'll never stop!"
