This denial of solitude goes some way towards explaining why, of all the questions viewers have about the behind-the-scenes workings of the show, one of the most…

James “Sonny” Rivera describes his lower back pain vividly: “A hot burning rod going down my leg” and “a lightning bolt hit me in my back.” While Sonny remembers having back pain since he was a teen, a 2021 ATV accident made his pain intolerable when he stood, walked a short distance or rolled over in…
