Nigerian actress, Damilola Adegbite has opened up about her struggle with what she describes as “excruciating pain” in her neck.
In a post via her Instagram page on Saturday, the actress shared a photo of herself after physiotherapy.
The 38-year-old actress said she has been battling neck pain and constant migraines for over a year.
Adegbite said she recently started physiotherapy, adding that the pain has become less severe due to the treatment.
“For over a year, I’ve had an excruciating pain in my neck, literally. When the pain hits, I’m unable to function for days,” she wrote.
“I have been on the strongest of painkillers for too long. They numb the pain for a bit and it’s back to business as usual. And of course, with neck pain, comes migraines. It has been hell.
“I started physiotherapy over a week ago. I have noticed the pain is less. I have only taken a painkiller once since then. If you know me well, this is a big deal!
“I am not supposed to lift weights for at least 3 months or do any kind of strenuous activities. This part is so hard for me but I’m determined to do anything to get rid of the pain.
“In the meantime, I have to wear this beautiful neck fashion accessory a couple of hours a day, so if you see me outside with it, don’t be afraid.”
