Here is video from Fox and Friends this morning where they talked about news that Rush Limbaugh was taken to the hospital last night in Hawaii. a Hawaii TV station reports that when paramedics arrived at Rush's hotel yesterday, he told them he was taking a medication for "back pain" that may have contributed to the chest pains he was having.
He is reportedly "resting comfortably" in the hospital. . . . (VIDEO)

Rush should probably be careful with pain pills...we sure need him...thank God it wasn’t a massive heart attack
Absolutely. We do need him. Let us all pray that Rush will have a complete and speedy recovery.
There is a certain amount of negative innuendo, in light of Rush's prior addiction problem to narcotics. An equally plausible explanation might be that he was taking a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that are well known to cause esophago-gastric irritation, up to the point of ulceration and bleeding. Know what an inflamed esophagus feels like? Bingo- chest pain. Many emergency room visits for chest pain are due to GI upset.
How long will it take for the MSM talking head media elite’s start the snide Rush Limbaugh drug addict comments?
That is my prayer for him as well. Watched the video. F&F said there should be updates on his show today and he’s expected to return to the EIB microphone on Monday.
Get well soon, Rush!!
Good to hear that Rush is on the road to recovery... can’t imagine how much more difficult it would be to reverse this socialist clown and his administration without Rush in the fight.
Three months ago I had to have surgery to relieve my back pain, which was a result of lower lumber stenosis. The decision to have surgery was one that took me seven years to get to, but at least it wasn’t in the cervical area... definitely a delicate and risky surgery that requires an extremely talented neurosurgeon.
Great insight. No innuendo is intended in this posting. I love Rush Limbaugh. Just posting the latest information based on what the Fox and Friends report said.
But you are right that it probably won’t be long before the Left will be trying to make something sinister out of the situation. Thanks for sharing your expertise!
This is just snarky of Fox News - Rush has been off the dependency for some time now.
That aside, we need you, Rush (some days, almost pathetically so, but it is real). God is not yet ready for you to return the talent He has so graciously lent to you.
Keep on trucking.
20 years ago, I ended up in the hospital for ‘chest’ pains. It turned out to be my neck. I never had ‘neck’ pains prior to this event. anytime that I now have ‘chest’ pains, I do a simple exercise of improving my posture, and tucking in my chin. It is ‘neck’ pain. Hopefully, Rush’s problem is based on his neck (vertebrae problems).
Media reports and truth are not always compatible.
Let’s wait until we hear directly from the man.
Like people said, we need to hear from Rush directly but I would not be surprised if this is correct. Oxycontin addiction is hard to kick especially if you are under a lot of pain.
We all have our own hangups and habits in our life. Rush had this one. I pray that he continues to fight this thing so he can live many more years to fight for this nation.
That’s what happens when a bunch of speculators mouth off on FR, and other sites, about events, or a person’s life, that they know nothing about: headlines
LAst night when I first heard about this, my first thought was that Obama-Rahm had put out a hit on Rush and had maybe poisoned him somehow................
Rush,
My wife and I wish you a speedy and complete recovery. Your voice is needed in our efforts to Take back Our Country From The Usurper in Chief.
I mistakenly read a report about Rush’s latest condition, it start out rather informative then turned into the biggest pack of lies, hate and innuendos I’ve ever read. The hate-filled liberal who wrote it should be committed to an insane asylum- he is truly out of control, almost sounded suicidal with caustic bile eating up his insides, amazing the amount of ignorance and hate that the liberals carry around with them. Rush seems to be doing well and millions are praying for his recovery. Get well, Rush, America needs your observations, humor and political savvy.
24/7 listeners will know Rush has complained about a pinched nerve in his neck. That sometimes he has to stand, saying it doesn’t look good on the ditto cam.
Gas and bloating can be very painful up under the heart area.
I'd rather endure the pain of OA in my spine and hands than take another anti-inflammatory arthritis drug it took several weeks to get the poison out of my system!
yeah me too, it’s a sad state of affairs when we could even imagine something like that from our “leaders”
