Bad day for Jennifer Lopez in Argentina: terrible pain back and her staff robbed

Jennifer Lopez, who is in Argentina as part of her 'Dance Again' tour, was robbed just hours after she left a clinic after being treated for a stabbing pain in her lower back.

“Coconuts getting to big to carry both at once” twitted JL about her back pain

According to local entertainment website Primicias, the thief took personal items from the 42-year-old singer's dressing room, while she performed at the GEBA stadium in Buenos Aires on Thursday.

The stolen goods included a computer, a camera and a bag with personal documents such as IDs and passports.

Complicating matters, Lopez's manager Benny Medina, who has also been robbed, has not been able to leave the country since he has lost all forms of identification.

According to Spanish network Univision, the 'On the Floor' singer had experienced extreme back pain and had to interrupt her sound stage and had to be taken to a clinic.

Lopez later took to Twitter to talk about the incident, revealing that her kids had something to do with the hospital scare.

“Got an xray this morning...all good...pulled back muscle,” the Daily Telegraph quoted Lopez as writing on Twitter on Thursday.

”Coconuts getting to big to carry both at once. Awww... timeflies :)“ she wrote.

However the “American Idol” judge played down the incident with a source insisting she wasn’t so ill that the show was never going to be cancelled.

”She went to get an x-ray, everything is fine and performed to a sold-out audience last night,“ her team revealed. ”The show was never in jeopardy of being cancelled.”

In effect JL did not cancel her elaborate, two-hour concert, in which she performed old tunes such as 'Get Right', 'Let's Get Loud', 'Waiting for Tonight' and her popular song 'Jenny From the Block'.

Typical Argentina. First Stallman gets robbed in a university and now J-lo is robbed

Argentines are all thieves and liars.

Dear, dear, dear. A spinal x-ray is only indicated in acute back pain if there is a history of severe trauma (i.e. a fall from height etc.). Lopez has had needless exposure to radiation with an investigation that would yeild little information on her symptoms.

If she had radicular pain referal then they could have al least gone for an MRI.

What to they teach these Argie doctors?

Hospitals in Argentina are SCARY! All the equipment looks like a 1950s sci-fi movie, paint is peeling, floors are dirty, I would NEVER get treated for anything serious in that country!
BTW the import restrictions are keeping out syringes, gloves, sterile bandages, x-ray film...what are they going to do reuse them? Blech better off getting yourself back to the USA UK EU if you have a real problem.

J Lo is quite nice, but “Cristina from the block” is much hotter =) Seriously, what an absurd anti-Argie article, surely she'd have got the back pain wherever she was, or do you think theres something in the air?!

#5 - Many things are now sub-par in Argentina, but not their doctors. They are dedicated to helping the ill, and often at rates far below those in most developed countries.

Jennifer my dear you just cant trust those blasted Argentinians why you had to go to that country is beyond my compression. Look Jenny these people have been trying to steal my country's islands for years so a little bit of bling that you had on you would have been no problem for them to steal, to them it would have been like a shoplifter in Harrods when the lights went out because of a power cut. Quick Fernando fill your boots before she comes back, and they did.

The whole country is corrupt, I said to Obama the other day for goodness sake bammy keep your hand on your wallet if you ever have to go down there, the moment you take your hand of your wallet it will be gone. He said Dave I even keep my hand on my wallet when that fellow Timerman comes calling at my home in Washington. I said to Bammy you know what old son, you know that new Mrs Ambassador the one that they sent to London the other week! well that crazy bint even pinched my bum in front of Samantha, they just cant keep their hands to themselves can they Bammy.

I agree with the comment about doctors there .... They are dedicated.... They do it for passion not for money by the most part....as far as facilities well they stick people in multi people rooms

This is why you never should make too much fun about others

www.christianpost.com/news/jon-hamm-robbed-with-girlfriend-in-london-77269/

Why doesn't MERCOPRESS report on this story like the so widely reported the Jennifer Lopez one?

The foreigners on this section were all in a frenzy making fun of Argentina in that story. How about it now!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

ChrisR, suck it!!

@16

Glad to see you are back, I do hope that you feel better after your short break.

However, given your comment to me it looks as if I am going to be disappointed.
