A new report says that Hayden Panettiere suffered from mysterious pain that felt like “pins and needles” in her legs and that she gave specific instructions during a Manhattan book tour in May that ex-boyfriend Brian Hickerson could not attend. The New York Times on Sunday said…

New York Times: 'She was in pain. She was afraid. She couldn’t function properly.'

In the year before the actress’s death, she struggled to walk at times and worked to disentangle herself from an ex-boyfriend who had abused her.
