Erik Menendez is back in the news, but this time it’s not for anything scandalous—he’s recovering from surgery for kidney stones! Yes, the infamous inmate has once again faced health issues, and it seems those pesky stones don’t know when to quit. After being transported to an outside medical facility on September 26, Erik is now back at the Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility and reportedly in good spirits. Who knew kidney stones could keep a guy busy behind bars?

Tammi Menendez, Erik’s wife, gave fans a little window into his recent health scare by sharing an update on social media, saying he had “another surgery” and is doing okay. If there’s a bright side to all of this, it’s that Erik seems to be recovering well—even if it’s not exactly ideal to be doing it in a correctional facility. Talk about an unwanted “roommate!”

This isn’t the first time Erik has had to deal with kidney stones; he was hospitalized for the same condition earlier this year. Maybe someone needs to start a petition for better prison food, and fast! After all, it just might be less about his diet and more about those lifelong stones hanging around. So, what do you think? Have you ever had a health scare that took you by surprise? We’re all ears!
