As a result of this condition Stevo has been experiencing pain and numbness in his hands, legs and arms."He felt very relieved today to finally get this diagnosis and finally pinpoint what was wrong with him," said World Wrestling Federation announcer Jim Ross, who accompanied Austin and phoned in from the bustling Philadelphia airport. The physician also worked with Austin when he suffered his bad neck injury in the summer of 1997and was able to refer to medical records and conduct a thorough examination, Ross said.

If so, he will require 4-6 weeks for rehabilitation, and then he'll be re-evaluated, Ross said. "(At that point) we may find out that there are very limited limitations, and we may find out there are severe limitations," Ross said. Ross emphasized that it's entirely too early to make a prognosis for Austin -- or even to speculate as to whether or not he can resume his in-ring career. But either way, J.R. says that Austin will be a major part of Federation television. Austin was in high spirits today although "he's in a lot of pain, but he's got a very high threshold of pain."
