Amy Schumer Uses Walker After Verified Spinal Surgery

Amy Schumer recently underwent a laminectomy, a surgical procedure to relieve pressure on her lower spine caused by longstanding pain from a surfing injury. She shared a photo on Instagram using a walker, explaining that her L5 vertebra had been causing significant discomfort, and joked about buying a bra once she recovers. The surgery aims to decompress nerves in the lumbar spine and is typically performed when other treatments fail to alleviate symptoms like pain and numbness. Schumer has been open about her health challenges, including a previous diagnosis of Cushing syndrome, which she discovered after internet trolls noted swelling in her face. She also disclosed taking the weight loss drug Mounjaro and has previously discussed her experience with Ozempic. Fans and fellow celebrities have expressed support and concern as she recovers from the procedure.
