Since the creation of the game in France, Sara has participated three times in

Koh-Lanta

, notably during the “Island of Heroes” edition broadcast last spring, which she had to leave by medical decision.

At each of her participations, viewers were able to discover a sporting and fighter candidate.

But in a video posted on her Instagram account a few days ago, spotted by TVMag, Sara gave her news and shared her ordeal for several months.

Since a knee operation in February 2020 and the installation of a complete prosthesis, the former candidate suffers from intense pain and great discomfort.

"Endless pains, more or less violent"

“Following this operation, I declared a disease called dystrophy, which is characterized by intense pain, day and night.

It mainly affects the joints after surgery or trauma.

The symptoms are pain that does not end, more or less violent ”, she explains, specifying that if they are less severe than before,“ they are there permanently ”.

Suffering extremely difficult to live with on a daily basis.

“I can barely go down a staircase.

I'm just riding one… ”she adds, overwhelmed by emotion.

An illness which also has an impact on her professional life, since Sara is the manager of a gym.

"My life has no meaning since February 10, 2020, I lost all self-confidence and I lost the role I had in my health club since I am on long sick leave", she explains.

Likewise, this pathology caused great discomfort in her.

“This disease is the cause of many severe depression,” explains Sara.

I am the proof.

You don't want anything anymore, you let the days go by… ”

In her video, Sara wishes to raise awareness around algodystrophy, which "is not recognized by social security", she specifies.

She now sponsors an association to help people affected by this disease, and remains hopeful of being cured soon.

"See you soon, see you very soon in better conditions, one day I will walk properly, I will climb the stairs," she finished.
