“I’ve kind of just dealt with it. At first, I had to have an epidural every three months just to live”: Burning Witches and former Iron Maidens guitarist Courtney Cox reveals she has been touring with multiple herniated discs in her back for years

Guitarist Courtney Cox of Iron Maidens and The Starbreakers appears at the Caparison Guitars booth at The 2018 NAMM Show - Day 1 at Anaheim Convention Center on January 25, 2018 in Anaheim, California.

Touring with injuries can be particularly gnarly – and Burning Witches guitarist and former member of The Iron Maidens Courtney Cox knows this firsthand, as she recently revealed that she has spent years touring with multiple herniated discs in her back.

“I have three herniated discs in my lower back from a nasty car accident from when I was way younger, so I really have to be careful,” she explains on the Side James with Bryan Reesman podcast.
