Kylie Jenner shared a deeply personal update this week, revealing she turned to stem cell therapy after struggling with chronic back pain for almost three years following her last pregnancy.
In an Instagram Story posted Wednesday, December 3, the 28-year-old “Kardashians” star shared a photo of herself in a hospital bed. People reported that in her story, Kylie wrote, “I’ve been dealing with bad chronic back pain for almost 3 years after my last pregnancy, and nothing I tried seemed to help.”
She explained that hearing about her sister Kim Kardashian’s positive results encouraged her to explore the treatment.
“Hearing how much relief Kim got gave me the confidence to look into stem cell therapy,” Kylie said. “I went to @dr.akhan and his team at @eterna.health, and I’m honestly so grateful for the opportunity and resources.”
Why Kylie Chose Stem Cell Therapy
GettyKylie said the therapy has already made a meaningful difference in her recovery. “Everyone’s body is different, but this has been a huge step in my healing,” she told fans.
“Definitely do your research… talk to your doctor and medical professionals, but I just wanted to share in case this helps anyone.”
She also shared photos of bandages across her lower back, along with a selfie taken beside Dr. Akhan in his medical office.
Kylie Reflects on Motherhood & Identity
Kylie shares daughter Stormi, 7, and son Aire, 3, with ex Travis Scott. Last month, she spoke about becoming a young mother during an appearance on Khloé Kardashian’s podcast, “Khloé in Wonder Land.”
“I think I have a really good balance,” Kylie said. “I think that I definitely still feel like myself. It was really hard for me having kids so young and you’re just… the emotions, and the postpartum.”
Khloé, 41, noted, “And probably being the only one in your circle [to have kids].”
Getty“The only one,” Kylie agreed. She said she grew especially close to her friend Yris Palmer during that period. “I think I did a pretty good job. I think it just takes time.”
Kylie also admitted it took a while to regain her footing after childbirth. “It took me like a year, probably, after — both times — to really feel like myself again,” she said.
Khloé replied, “I think that’s normal. I think it just takes a minute to get your f—— mojo back.”
Kylie responded, “No, it does.”
Kylie and BoyfriendTimothée Chalamet Plan Cozy Holiday Time Together
GettyOn the personal front, the Kardashian star is gearing up to spend quality time with her boyfriend, Timothée Chalamet, over the holidays.
Jenner, 28, and Chalamet, who have been together for two and a half years, have spent the last few months juggling long-distance schedules while the actor films “Dune: Part Three” in Europe.
Ahead of the holiday season, a source told people that the couple planned to spend Thanksgiving together.
Getty“Kylie’s very excited that he’s been back in L.A.,” the source says of Chalamet, 29. “She’s happy to have some special time with him before he returns to filming.”
Chalamet will also spend time with his own family before returning to the “Dune” set.
A source previously confirmed to people that the breakup rumors that surfaced earlier this month were untrue. The speculation began after Chalamet missed Kris Jenner’s 70th birthday celebration on Nov. 9, but multiple insiders said the pair are doing “great.”
“Timothée talked about Kylie all the time while filming ‘Marty Supreme,’” one insider shared. “She even flew out to visit him on set in N.Y.C. They also met up in London while he was shooting ‘Dune.’ They’re really in love.”
