A Shocking Earring Incident
Radio star Fifi Box, 49, shared a terrifying experience that left her in excruciating pain and confusion. She revealed that her face “started to feel paralysed” after a freak accident involving her earring. The incident was so severe that she thought she might be heading to the emergency ward at the hospital.
On the Hit Network’s Fifi, Fev and Nick show, Fifi told listeners about the ordeal. She described how she was chewing gum on Wednesday when the right side of her face began to “throbbing”. The pain was intense, affecting both her jaw and ear. She was panicking, unsure of what was happening to her face.
The Unexpected Cause
Fifi was in so much pain but couldn’t understand why. Then it hit her. She remembered the day before, when she had knocked her head on co-host Fev’s shoulder. “I screamed, do you remember I screamed at first?” she recalled. “I thought my ear was bleeding.”
She then remembered that her earring with a post, the small rod that passes through the ear, had “punctured” her neck as they collided. “I was thinking to myself, I’ve jabbed like a nerve or something,” she realised.
“If there’s any acupuncturist listening, they might know what happened. But it was like I’d given myself nerve damage to the point where I couldn’t eat yesterday.”
Seeking Help
The mum-of-two then turned to AI to help diagnose her medical “emergency” while on-air, which suggests she’s doing just fine. Her story highlights the unexpected dangers that can come from everyday objects.
