Joel Hentrich was playing pickleball with some friends in November when he whipped his head to the left to track the moving ball. He says he “felt a pop in the back of my neck,” and immediately started having frightening symptoms like vertigo, and within minutes the 35-year-old couldn’t stand by himself.
After being taken to the hospital and having an MRI and a CT scan, doctors was told he had dissected an artery and triggered three strokes in his lower cerebellum. He was released after two days in the hospital and is back to normal…and says he’ll go back to playing pickleball.
