Hayden Panettiere suffered from a really serious health issue in the months leading up to her tragic death, according to one insider.
"I know she suffered earlier this year with her back," the Nashville star's hairdresser and good friend Erick Orellana exclusively told Page Six.
Orellana described Panettiere's pain as really serious and so much so that the actress had difficulty mobilizing herself. There was a point where it was even hard for her to move her own legs.
Shocking images show her at the LAX airport where she made use of crutches to get around. However, her pal did mention how it seemed like the Heroes alum was beginning to be on the mend.
