Nigerian film actress, Damilola Adegbite recently opened up on how she has been in a lot of pain, so much so that she is currently wearing a neck brace, also called a cervical collar.

The movie star acknowledged that, despite using the best pain relievers, her severe neck pain has persisted for more than a year and that nothing has changed.

Damilola Adegbite stated that she has been advised not to engage in any physically demanding activities for the next three months, including lifting weights.

The fitness enthusiast stated that while it would be hard for her, but she would do anything for the pain to go away.

In a well detailed caption, Damilola Adegbite wrote:

“This is me post physiotherapy & Harassed and in some pain. 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.

I have been on the strongest of pain killers 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 and I have noticed the pain is less. I have only taken a pain killer 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 mean time, 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. Lol

All in all, I’m grateful. Whatever we are going through, it could be much worse. When you hit rock bottom, the only way to go is up”

Apart from posting her gym workout routine, Damilola Adegbite has quite a calm social media presence, where she also showcases and promotes her work as an actress.
