Alongside a selfie of himself wearing a face mask, he penned: “At Hospital ….. pain like I’ve never experienced in my life . Need to find out what’s causing this. Wish me well.”
A majority of his one million followers showered Eamonn with plenty of support in the form of social media messages.

Eamonn’s hospital dash comes just hours after he took to Twitter to discuss his lack of sleep on Wednesday night.
The Irish broadcaster wrote: “Don’t know about u but I got 90 mins tonight before the pain woke me up.
“I just want to say Twitter can rightly be criticised …. yet here through sharing the common but not talked about experience of #ChronicPain we r giving each other support. Let’s keep talking Tweeters.”

Eamonn wrote: “Starting the day by tackling the pain from the night before ….. On the Physio table. Chronic pain . Just can’t get it to go away.
“Sadly so many of you know the feeling. Thanks for sharing your stories. I’m determined to beat this …however much it hurts.”
