Morgan Freeman’s Glove at NASCAR Sparks Health Concerns

Morgan Freeman’s compression glove at NASCAR sparks health concerns amid ongoing battle with nerve damage.

Morgan Freeman made an appearance at the Pennzoil 400 NASCAR race in Las Vegas, but fans were curious about the glove on his left hand.

The Oscar-winning star, known for his iconic voice and long Hollywood career, has faced serious health issues since a 2008 car accident that caused severe nerve damage. Freeman, 87, served as the grand marshal at the NASCAR event, where he met driver Bubba Wallace in a viral moment. However, fans noticed his subdued demeanor and the black compression glove he wore, which has become a staple in his public appearances.

Freeman suffers from fibromyalgia, a chronic condition that leads to intense pain and mobility problems. He has spoken about the excruciating pain in his arm, saying, "I suffered nerve damage, and it hasn’t gotten better. I can’t move it… It’s the fibromyalgia. Up and down the arm. That’s where it gets so bad." The compression glove helps by improving blood flow and reducing swelling, especially when his hand remains in one position for too long.

Despite his health challenges, Freeman continues to be active in Hollywood and public life, attending major events. His perseverance has earned him admiration from fans, even though some were concerned about his low-energy appearance at the NASCAR event.
