Fortnite star Tfue posts grim update on status following neck swelling issues

Things are not looking good for FaZe Clan pro Fortnite Battle Royale player Turner ‘Tfue’ Turner as he has provided a scary update in the midst of an ongoing neck condition.

On March 20, Tfue tweeted out that he was currently in the emergency room, and that he would provide more details about the situation later.

“I’m currently in the emergency room,” he wrote. “I’ll keep you guys posted.”

While he was obviously not specific as to the reason or nature of his visit to the hospital, it very likely had to do with a neck condition that he has been complaining about over the past few days.

On March 17, the Fortnite superstar revealed that he had been battling swelling in his neck, which he chalked up to playing and streaming too much and not being hydrated enough.

On March 19, he provided his first update on the situation, tweeting out about how his neck was still swollen despite the fact that he had already been on antibiotics for a considerable amount of time.

“Over 48 hours on antibiotics and my neck is still swollen,” he wrote. “I’m going to see a specialist tomorrow.”

Whether or not visiting the emergency room is Tfue’s idea of going to a specialist remains unclear, however, the streamer has admitted that he may ultimately need to get surgery on his neck in order to fix the issue.
