Amy Schumer is currently recovering from back surgery. The \u201cKinda Pregnant\u201d star took to Instagram on Friday to give fans an update on her condition while also debuting a new accessory: A walker.<\/p>\n
\u201cSince my surfing injury back in the day my L5 has been killing me. Today I got a laminectomy! It\u2019s a short recovery and when I\u2019m feeling better I will buy a bra,\u201d Schumer wrote<\/a> alongside a photo of her standing with a walker. <\/p>\n Schumer didn\u2019t share any details about the walker, but it is likely a temporary aid she\u2019ll use during her recovery<\/p>\n Per Cleveland Clinic<\/a>, a laminectomy is a surgical procedure that helps relieve back pain by removing the arched part of the vertebra, thereby alleviating pressure on the nerves.<\/p>\n Earlier that day, Schumer hinted she had back surgery on her Instagram Story. \u201cOverheard post back surgery \u2018pickleball really keeps this place in business\u2019\u201d wrote Schumer alongside a selfie of her in a hospital bed.<\/p>\n Although Schumer had never previously talked about experiencing back pain or needing surgery, she has been open with her fans about her health journey in the past. <\/p>\n Last February, the comedian revealed on the podcast \u201cCall Her Daddy\u201d<\/a> that she had Cushing syndrome, a hormonal disorder caused by high levels of cortisol for a long time, per Mayo Clinic<\/a>. <\/p>\n Schumer discovered she had this condition, which can cause distinctive facial swelling or a \u201cmoon face,\u201d after being criticized online by fans for her appearance. However, medical professionals also gave their two cents, encouraging Schumer to get checked out.<\/p>\n It\u2019s unclear how long Schumer will be out of commission from her laminectomy, but judging by her posts, she\u2019s still got her sense of humor.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.
