Jasmine Roth shared the details of a scary health issue she experienced in 2022 that left her initially unable to move. The HGTV star explained how far she has come, with an encouraging message for fans about healing and pain.
Jasmine Roth Suffered a Painful Health Scare
On January 27, Roth took to Instagram to share a video of her working out, noting, “I never expected to recover.”
“The amount of pain I was in was intolerable. I still don’t know how it happened but when I woke up on Christmas morning in 2022 I couldn’t move,” she shared in the caption. “January 1, 2023 I was able to get in for an urgent MRI which confirmed that I had a herniated C5/C6 disk in my neck.”
She continued, “At the time the pain was non-stop and I had no idea it would be my new normal for the next 1.5 years. I did every treatment short of surgery and lived at my PT’s office. After a lot of hard work, it was finally an injection of stem cells by my doctor that pushed me toward recovery. I also started seeing a functional medicine doctor to optimize my health and give my body the tools to heal.”
“It was one of the hardest times of my life and I have so much more sympathy for those that are dealing with medical issues and chronic pain 💔,” she noted.
Roth also included a hopeful message for fans.
“I share this because yesterday I was working out and I had a moment of deep gratitude. My body has come so far and yours can too,” she shared. “I know it’s hard but you have to believe in your body and trust the process.”
“Keep building your happy in any way you can and do the hard things that you don’t want to do,” the HGTV star noted. “That hard work will make you better. I learned through my experience that I am stronger than I ever imagined and I’m living proof that the sun will shine again … ☀️☀️”
