The Christian O’Connell Show

Christian O'Connell's show is back, and he's sharing a heartwarming story about his 21-year-old daughter Ruby's journey with chronic back pain. Christian opens up about the struggles Ruby faced, including multiple MRI scans and consultations that didn't provide a clear diagnosis. A specialist finally identified a rare condition in the multifidous region of the spine, which was causing the pain. Ruby underwent a groundbreaking procedure that involved a pacemaker-like device being inserted into her back to stimulate the nerves. Christian shares the emotional moment when Ruby finally smiled after the procedure, and the family's experience with the medical team.
