Presenter-reporter Hanna Sumari, 65, has caused great concern among his social media followers. Sumari recently said on her Instagram account that she had hamstring surgery on both hind thighs, because sitting had been causing her pain for a year.
Soon, the host started getting a lot of questions from his social media followers regarding his health and recovery process. Now Sumari answers them Instagramin their stories, which can be seen 24 hours after their publication.
Sumari starts by telling how her trouble manifested itself.
– The thighs didn’t have the symptoms, but the buttocks. My buttocks hurt when sitting and driving. Walking uphill and climbing stairs also hurt my buttocks.
– Sports, training, long-term sitting and age are behind the problem. The problem seems to be quite common, which is surprising because I had never heard of it myself, he says in his story sections.

The host emphasizes that he is no longer in pain. Sumari was given medication, which she has gradually reduced. According to Sumari, rehabilitation should start in about a month, which means he should be fine by spring.
– Right now there are cold packs under the (surgery) wounds. They help with pain. I can’t sit or bend over for three weeks. That is, the hamstring must not stretch. I can stand and walk with crutches. I can leave them out after a month, he elaborates.
Some social media followers wondered how Sumari can, for example, go to the toilet if she is not allowed to sit. The host has an answer for this too.
– This is what bothered me too! I have a toilet seat booster. I can sit in it, but I don’t sit much, I support myself with my hands, he reveals.
Finally, Sumari answers the most important question of all: how is she feeling right now.
– Things are going well here! I was so afraid of this recovery beforehand – I don’t have to anymore. Of course, it’s hard to be cool when all you want to do is bake, make Christmas wreaths and decorate our upstairs, which I can’t even get to, says the host.
