TORMENTED TIGER ON SLIPPERY SLOPE!

His agonizing pain sparks fears of painkiller relapse - INSIDER

- 

TIGER WOODS has confessed to being in agony as he rehabs from bone-shattering injuries he suffered in his devastating car wreck — triggering fresh fears that he could relapse into an addiction to painkillers!

When his SUV flew off a California highway and crashed in February, the 45-year-old links legend’s lower right tibia and fibula bones were smashed to bits and his right foot was severely injured. His leg muscles swelled so much surgeons had to cut open the covering tissue to relieve pressure.

Now hobbling on a cast and crutches, Tiger — who’s undergone several major surgeries for golf-related injuries over the years — recently admitted his recovery has been excruciating.

“I understand more of the rehab processes because of my past injuries, but this was more painful than anything I have ever experienced,” he said.
