Soledad Silveyra Says Six Months of Trocanteritis and a Lumbar Fracture Have Forced Her Off the Stage

She describes a slow, painful recovery that has stopped her theatre work.

Overview

  • Silveyra disclosed on Saturday that she has lived with trocanteritis for six months after a fall and that the impact fractured her sixth lumbar vertebra.
  • She continued performing for about ten days in the play ¿Quién es quién? before suspending her participation when the pain became unbearable.
  • Doctors stopped oral painkillers because of stomach side effects and switched her to a transdermal analgesic patch to manage chronic hip pain.
  • The injury has cut her mobility and forced her to rely on an assistant for daily tasks, which prevented her from attending the tribute to colleague Luis Brandoni.
  • Brandoni fell at home the day after Silveyra suspended performances and later died on April 20 from a subdural hematoma, and Silveyra says she hopes to resume work by next summer while continuing slow rehabilitation.
