Jenelle Evans reveals rare pain disorder leaving her unable to walk

Jenelle Evans, known from "Teen Mom," posted a video explaining that a rare neurological condition, complex regional pain syndrome, has left her in constant, excruciating pain and unable to walk. Following knee surgery, doctors confirmed the diagnosis and referred her to a pain management clinic, where a steroid injection worsened her discomfort. An MRI revealed a syrinx measuring two to four millimeters and a second cyst adjacent to her spine, both of which could lead to paralysis if they enlarge.

Evans said the pain radiates from the base of her skull down to her tailbone, making crutch use painful. She also recounted previous attempts to raise concerns about a spinal cyst in 2022 that were dismissed. The star pleaded for advice and expressed feelings of hopelessness as she struggles with daily mobility.
