Regina Daniels Breaks Silence on Health Crisis: ‘The Pain Became Excruciating’
Nollywood actress Regina Daniels has disclosed that she has endured months of excruciating pain and difficulty walking, offering an explanation for her prolonged absence from social media.
Daniels made the revelation on Saturday while celebrating her 25th birthday, sharing an emotional video on Instagram in which she appeared in a wheelchair.
In the video, the actress described her birthday as her silver jubilee and expressed hope for peace and a better phase of her life.
“Hi everyone. It’s my Silver Jubilee. This new phase of my life, I pray to God for total calm. Happy birthday to me,” she said.
The actress revealed that her health problems began with what appeared to be a minor issue but gradually deteriorated, restricting her ability to move around freely.
She said the condition had persisted for several months, leaving her struggling with physical limitations that affected her everyday life.
Daniels also recalled that her health took a serious turn after the last public event she hosted, a Children’s Day carnival.
According to her, she has undergone repeated medical tests since then as she continues to seek answers to her condition. She jokingly referred to herself as a “lab rat” because of the numerous examinations.
Explaining how unpredictable her symptoms had become, the actress said she could sometimes walk normally but at other times found herself unable to move.
“The pain became, how can I explain this? The pain became excruciating. Sometimes I find myself walking well, and sometimes I just can’t move,” she said.
Beyond the physical discomfort, Daniels acknowledged the emotional strain of living with the condition, revealing that she had cried while seeking God’s intervention.
“I cried. I looked on to God for His divine healing, as He alone has the final say on my life,” she said.
The actress also addressed the reaction her appearance in a wheelchair might provoke among fans, many of whom had been concerned about her absence from social media.
She explained that the birthday message was intended to update those who had reached out with genuine concern and clarify why she had been away from public view.
Although Daniels spoke openly about her pain, mobility difficulties and repeated medical tests, she did not reveal a specific medical diagnosis in the video.
