What happened to Josh from England?

On Jan. 18, Jase posted a video on the pair's shared Instagram account. Usually, Josh and Jase share updates about their travels, and usually, they are positive and upbeat. This time, however, Jase was alone. He says in the video that he found Josh in his room where they are staying in Michigan, and his longtime content creator partner was in pain.

"I walked into where we're staying and Josh was on the floor in a lot of pain," Jase explains. "The on-site medical team have been with him. They're with him now. I can't do anything. I've been told to kind of step away. The EMS are on the way, so I'll keep you as updated as I can. Send us your love and prayers."

Although Jase doesn't explain in the video what happened to Josh to land him in an ambulance, there were plenty of comments from the pair's fans and followers on Josh's own post about his hospitalization with their own theories. Some commented on Josh possibly having kidney stones, which would account for being on the floor in pain.

Others wrote that Josh might have had a back injury or spasm after shoveling snow in one of the videos that he and Jase posted. As of now, Josh has not shared what happened. But he did write in the caption of his Instagram post that he "hit the floor" when he experienced sudden pain, and that the painkillers that doctors gave him helped immensely afterward.

Josh and Jase shared some updates about Josh's health.

One of the updates that Jase posted on his and Josh's shared Instagram account is a video showing paramedics helping Josh onto a gurney and into an ambulance. Josh is awake and coherent, but he seems to be in quite a bit of pain as he moves into position. Under another update with a photo of Josh and Jase in Josh's hospital room, Jase wrote in the caption that Josh was undergoing tests "to see what's wrong," but that the medication Josh was given was helping to keep him comfortable.

Although Josh and Jase have not shared exactly what happened or why Josh was in so much pain when they called for an ambulance, it doesn't sound as serious as some of their followers had feared. And now, everyone just wants to see Josh make a full recovery so they can get back on the road.
