Nollywood actress Regina Daniels has opened up about a painful health battle that left her struggling to walk for several months and forced her to depend on a wheelchair.

The actress, who recently celebrated her 25th birthday, shared the emotional revelation in a video posted on her Instagram page on Saturday, October 10, 2026.

Daniels explained that her health challenge began as a minor problem but gradually worsened, leaving her in severe pain and restricting her movement. The condition also contributed to her prolonged absence from social media, where fans had been asking questions about her whereabouts.

How The Health Challenge Began

Recounting her ordeal, the actress disclosed that she had lost the freedom to move around as she pleased for several months.

According to her, the situation became more serious after a children’s carnival she hosted, with the pain eventually becoming unbearable.

“For several months now, I have lost my freedom to move around as I please. It started as something minor, very minor, but eventually led to this,” Daniels revealed.

She explained that the worsening condition forced her to undergo repeated medical tests as she struggled to understand what was happening to her health.

“The pain became excruciating. Sometimes I can walk, and sometimes I can’t move. I cried,” she added.

Beyond the physical pain, the actress also experienced emotional distress as she struggled with the limitations imposed on her daily activities and had to rely on others for assistance.
