Adult star Adriana Chechik was told she may never walk again after suffering a horror back break.
The injury sustained in a pit of foam cubes at TwitchCon in 2022 has seen her on the road to recovery ever since. Chechik, 32, is still suffering pains from her injury over a year later.
She is hopeful of a full recovery despite doctors previously telling her she may never walk again, with the star now revealing the initially horrifying diagnosis she received in hospital.

Now walking, Chechik has revealed the neurosurgeon told her immediately after the incident she would have little chance of ever standing on her own two feet.
Speaking on the Just The Tips podcast, Chechik said: "When I was in the hospital the neurosurgeon came over to me before he actually got into my back, because I couldn't feel my legs before the surgery, and said 'we don't know if you'll walk again'.
"It was just the worst thing to hear in your life. I have a whole new appreciation for anybody who has mobility issues because it was terrifying. Luckily I am able to walk, I got very lucky that I hurt myself without damaging any nerves."
Chechik explained her nerves were "squished" upon impact during the TwitchCon incident, where numerous people were injured in a pit not properly padded. Instead of a cushy landing, people in the foam pit ended up landing on concrete at the bottom.
It later emerged Chechik had been pregnant at the time of the back break, though she was unaware. Said pregnancy was terminated due to her injuries.
The Daily Star previously reported how Chechik has turned to artificial intelligence as a way of relaunching her adult career.
Chechik, who shattered her vertebrae during the foam pit dive, hopes to restart her work in the porn industry with a robot that sounds identical to her. The new virtual companion will be personalised to the users' interests based on advanced algorithms and machine learning.
