Kerry Katona has lifted the lid on her ongoing health battle which has left her “bed bound”.
The former Atomic Kitten singer, 42, has revealed that she’s been diagnosed with arthritis and that she’s been experiencing “severe pain” in her back and him.
The OnlyFans star has told how she got to such a level of agony this week that she was unable to get out of bed.
The mum-of-five had to take time off from work during what should have been a very busy period for her, and go against her natural instinct to be on-the-go to take time to rest instead.
Writing in her OK! Magazine column today, Kerry revealed: “I’ve had a rare couple of days off work this week, but I’ve been bed bound. I’m in agony with my back and my hips – I have arthritis in my hips.
“I’ve suffered with the pain for a long time, but it’s been worse over the past few days. It’s like my body knows I have time off work so it shuts down.
“I think it’s because I’m always on the go and running off adrenaline. But it’s been nice to have a bit of a break, despite the pain.”
Kerry hasn’t had much luck with her health recently and only weeks ago revealed that she’d been walking around on a broken foot without realising after being in "agony" for months.
Kerry revealed how she fell of over during filming for a TV show last year and broke her foot.
Despite the pain, the former pop singer was none the wiser to the extent of her injury until recently.
She’s also recently been diagnosed with lipidaemia, which has left her with an abnormal build-up of fat in her legs, hips, bottom and sometimes arms.
According to the NHS, it affects both sides of the body equally and is considered to be a chronic condition.
Those with lipidaemia can find themselves getting pain, tenderness or heaviness in the affected limbs, and you may bruise easily.
Just last week, Kerry updated fans on her ailments while exercising on a treadmill, following the arthritis diagnosis in both of her hips.
She revealed that she had fractured her coccyx and had suffered a bulging disc, leading to a lot of pain.
“So I've been out of action because I hurt my back and my hips. So I have arthritis in my hips. Bear with me.” [sic]
"I get these shooting pains in my legs like I'm getting an electric shock. And my god it really really hurts."
The star was close to tears as she shared how much pain her left hip was in and how she wanted to “pull [her] legs off”.
“The pain I've been feeling, it's been horrendous. Horrendous.”
