90 Day Fiancé’s Syngin Colchester is on the mend after breaking one of his ankles and spraining the other while on a hike in the forest.
On Wednesday, the reality star revealed that he had badly injured himself during a camping trip, documenting the ordeal in aseries of videos shared to his Instagram.
According to Colchester, he was walking alone in the woods when he fell and hurt one of his ankles. As Colchester was alone “in the middle of nowhere” without cell service, he couldn’t call anyone for help.
“It’s swelling up,” he says in the first video, zooming in on his injury. “I can’t really put any pressure on it. I don’t need this right now. I don’t know what to do.”
However, things took a turn during his walk when he fell down again and he injured his other ankle.

“You’re never going to believe this, I just sprained my other ankle. I have f—— two sprained ankles right now,” Colchester says in another video, wincing at the pain. “I’m heading back up the hill. Kind of worried. No signal as well.”
Colchester eventually made his way to the trailhead, where he found a park ranger’s car and they were able to drive him to a hospital.

Colchester’s wife, Tania Maduro, also gave an update on his condition from her account.
“I booked him a hotel for tonight in a town with a train so he can catch one home tomorrow,” she wrote on her Instagram Stories. “My sister will pick up, help set him up, and bring food that my gramma will make him.”
Maduro, who met Colchester in South Africa before settling down with him in the United States, added that she’s “out of the country, and was not able to make to VA quick enough to get him.”
“Typical me,” she joked, before thanking fans for their support. “Keep an eye out on his page because I think he has one small favor to ask soon.”
