Amy Schumer has revealed she had to have secret surgery following a previous injury. Taking to Instagram, the Hollywood star, 44, shared a snap of herself using a walking aid.

She explained to her followers that she had to go under the knife due to a past injury. She wrote: “Since my surfing injury back in the day my L5 has been killing me. Today I got a laminectomy! It’s a short recovery and when I’m feeling better I will buy a bra!”

Amy, who starred in films such as Trainwreck, had revealed that around a week before her surgery, she fell off a horse. She explained the incident happened while she was taking part in a lesson with her son. It comes after Mel B’s ‘spiritual’ Moroccan wedding with non traditional dress.

She said: “‘I took a deep breath and got my 44 year old, bad backed a** right back up on that horse and rode and trotted and it sent a message to those (riding students) and myself.”

According to the Mayo Clinic, the operation Amy underwent saw surgeons “remove the back arch or part of a spinal bone… called the lamina, (which) covers the spinal canal”. The organisation added: “Laminectomy enlarges the spinal canal to ease pressure on the spinal cord or nerves.”

Amy, who was previously diagnosed with Cushing’s Syndrome, admitted she discovered her health condition after being the target of trolls.

Speaking earlier this year about her health on an episode of the Call Her Daddy podcast, she explained how criticism online made her get a diagnosis.

She admitted hateful comments about her “moon face” had started to ramp up, leaving her growing more concerned about her appearance. In the end, doctors sent her comments on her posts to warn her that her red and puffy complexion could actually a sign of something and she should get it checked out.

It was then that she was told by her doctors that it could be Cushing’s syndrome. The condition, according to the NHS, is serious if not treated. She was then warned it usually arises due to a result of certain medications.

And then, the actress realised the steroid injections she had been receiving for her scars after welcoming her first son in 2019 had jump-started the condition. She said: “It gave me this thing called Cushing’s syndrome – which I wouldn’t have known if the internet hadn’t come for me so hard.”

Treatment for Cushing’s depends on what is causing it. In Amy’s case, she explained that she managed to “get rid” of the excess cortisol as it “worked itself out” of her system.

Stopping or reducing the amount of steroids a patient is on can treat Cushing’s too, according to medical advice.
