Cristine Reyes, an actress, has finally discovered the source of her severe back pain.
Reyes stated on social media that she saw three different surgeons who all gave her the same diagnosis for her condition.
“I had 2 orthopedic surgeons check my lumbar MRI last week and a third opinion early this morning from an arthroscopic surgeon. I’ve been experiencing excruciating lower back pain. All 3 surgeons said the same thing,” she posted.
Despite this, Reyes attempted headstands, which exacerbated her situation when her back fell flat on the floor.
“I will be expecting a massive muscle spasm later due that classic fall I recorded just now. Apparently I have a mild disc bulge in my lumbar. At least, I now have prescription meds,” she stated.
According to orthopedic surgeon Harvey E. Smith in an article on the Pennsylvania Medicine website, age-related degeneration causes discs in the spine to deteriorate and bulge downward, causing pain in the buttocks, legs, or back. It can also impair one’s ability to walk.
Reyes’ followers wished her a speedy recovery after seeing her post.
