Nollywood actress Regina Daniels has disclosed that she has endured months of severe pain and difficulty walking, revealing that her condition has left her dependent on a wheelchair.

The actress shared the update in a video posted on her Instagram page on Saturday to celebrate her 25th birthday, using the opportunity to explain her absence from social media.

Daniels, a mother of two, said what initially appeared to be a minor health problem gradually worsened, leaving her unable to move freely and sometimes preventing her from walking.

“I know many of you may be surprised seeing me in a wheelchair. Well, welcome to another chapter of my life. Let me walk you through what my life has been since many of you have asked questions about my absence,” she said.

Recounting how her condition deteriorated, Daniels said she began experiencing more serious symptoms after hosting a children’s day carnival.

“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.
