HGTV starJasmine Rothgot candid about her issues with chronic pain.
Entertainment Now reported that Roth shared that a herniated disk in her neck caused her extreme discomfort in a January 27 Instagram upload. The post featured a video that showed the 41-year-old exercising with the accompanying text reading, "I never expected to recover."
In the caption of the post, she recalled waking up in excruciating pain on "Christmas morning" of 2022. A week later, she "was able to get in for an urgent MRI which confirmed that [she] had a herniated C5/C6 disk in [her] neck."
"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," wrote Roth in the caption. "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 then said that she feels grateful that she is able to exercise. "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. I know it’s hard but you have to believe in your body and trust the process," stated the HGTV personality in the caption.

I can't believe you lived like this for a year and a half. I have a tonal gym also. Not sure if that's where I injured it or not. But your story gives me hope, that one day I will be out of pain too," wrote a commenter.
