“I did something, I think I have a bulging disc and I don’t know when it will heal,” added Ada.
A bulging disc refers to when the soft center of a spinal disc pushes through the outer casing.
“I couldn’t walk, I couldn’t do anything, I basically had to lie on my back,” she said.
It can cause pain in the back, buttocks, and legs, as well as numbness, weakness, and tingling.
Treatments include anti-inflammatory medications, physical therapy, bed rest, and braces.
The actress explained that she spends her time in bed reading books while she recovers.
“I did something, I think I have a bulging disc and I don’t know when it will heal,” added Ada.
She wrote in a caption on Instagram: ‘I didn’t know a sneeze could do so much damage. Now I have been told that I need to rest and take it easy until it heals.
‘Can anyone suggest me some books or TV shows? Do I need suggestions so I don’t go crazy?
