The distraught actor was struggling to walk amidst “profound medical issues and immense pain”, his manager told DailyMail.com.

He was charged with prescription fraud and refusing to identify himself when stopped by a police officer in Indiana last month. Brendon claims that sleeping in a prison cell with a concrete floor after his arrest aggravated his spinal problems. He had hoped to bounce back from the off-screen drama to promote his new film, Wanton Want, but is “devastated” with his medical woes, his manager, Theresa Fortier, told DailyMail.com. In jail: Charged last year with fraudulently purchasing prescription pills in Indiana (pictured in August 2021) Brendon is awaiting the results of scans on his back and groin but will require intensive major back surgery in the coming days. He suffers from Cauda Equina Syndrome, a condition in which nerve roots in the lumbar spine are compressed, interrupting movement, sensation and often function of the genitals, bladder and bowels. Fortier revealed the “heartbreaking” news for the actor, who was hoping for success with his new psychological thriller about two couples hiding secrets on a weekend getaway. “Right now he is focusing on his health. He’s not doing any promotion for the movie,” Fortier said. “In the last week and a half, things have gotten drastically worse. He suffers from paralysis in his genitals and private parts. “He had difficulties with flights. Unfortunately his condition means he needs surgery for his growing problems. May he be well and able to promote this film.” Sad news: Nicholas had starred in the Prime Video film Wanton Want but had to cancel his promotional commitments to undergo major spinal surgery Fortier insists that since the star’s arrest and night in a jail cell, his problems have worsened, adding: “During the arrest they were not very careful with his condition. “He has worsened the symptoms of his previous injury and the paralysis has started to reappear. Maybe another drive blew or everything went out of alignment. “So sleeping on a concrete floor with other inmates wasn’t exactly conducive to healing and made his injury worse and he’s been in excruciating pain with numbness and paralysis ever since. “The hospital needs to bring him in for another spinal surgery to fix whatever has happened.” Fortier revealed that Brendon also needs knee surgery from a torn MCL and ACL in the past. The manager, who said she is Brendon’s best friend, revealed she had been dealing with long-term back problems but they worsened after he fell at her home in Indiana in February. Reports in recent months claimed Brendon was struggling to pay the medical bills for his procedures and treatments, but Fortier insisted his fees were being covered.
