MMAJunkie<\/a>) Magana went into a coma early Wednesday morning following complications from emergency surgery. The 35-year-old currently lives in Puerto Rico and is staying at University Hospital. According to Lamastus, Magana was experiencing back pain in preparation for her Combate Americas matchup against Kyra Batara on Apr. 26. After a MRI revealed a herniated disc, Magana continued to train until the pain became too much and she was admitted again. <\/p>\n\n\n\nHoping to ease the pain,\nMagana had a nerve block done however that led to her suffering from cauda equine\nsyndrome \u2013 a condition where the nerves in the spinal cord are damaged \u2013 and that\nprompted her to get emergency surgery on Tuesday. Unfortunately while the\nsurgery went well, Magana\u2019s reaction to the anesthesia has led to her slipping\ninto a coma. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cShe\u2019s in a coma, and we\u2019re waiting to hear some positive news,\u201d Lamastus told MMA Junkie. \u201cThe surgery went fine. The problem was anesthesia. It\u2019s very rare that patients react bad to anesthesia, but it does happen, and I guess this is one of those rare cases. But I\u2019m being positive. She\u2019ll be fine, and she\u2019ll wake up. She\u2019s a hard worker. Angela is a very, very hard worker. A lot of people only know the Angela from social media. They don\u2019t really know the real Angela. That woman busts her tail to provide for her family.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Magana’s coaches have been keeping her fans well updated on social media, even posting some videos she took before her surgery. In one video, she shared her worry that she might react badly to the anesthesia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
