The Nollywood actress Omowunmi Dada has disclosed that she had leg surgery after enduring chronic pain.
The movie star posted a video on Instagram on Tuesday that captured events from her recovery to surgery.
She revealed that she ultimately made the “difficult choice” to get the surgery because she was afraid of losing the capacity to perform everyday tasks.
She also expressed her gratitude to God for giving her the strength to recover, even if the healing process is still ongoing.
“Sometimes, we carry our pain so quietly that the world celebrates us without realizing the weight we bear behind the scenes,” she wrote.
“I had been dealing with leg pain for so long, yet I continued to show up, walk through sets, and smile through moments-but deep down, I was weathering a storm.
“Eventually, I had to make a difficult choice: I underwent surgery. The thought of losing control over the simple things we often take for granted-walking, using the bathroom, moving freely-was humbling.
“But God… He held me. I’m still healing, but my healing is beautiful.”
She also appreciated her doctors “for your skill and patience” and her loved ones for their support during her recovery.
“To my doctors, thank you for your skill and patience. To my friends who visited, called, messaged, and showed love in various ways-thank you,” she added.
“To my family, your strength became my own. And to anyone experiencing private pain: I see you. I feel you. I pray healing finds you.
“Let’s learn to extend grace. Not everything you see online reveals the whole story. Be kind. Be gentle. Life unfolds behind the scenes.”
