Nollywood actress Regina Daniels has opened up about months of health challenges that affected her mobility, revealing that severe pain sometimes left her unable to walk and forced her to rely on a wheelchair.
The actress shared the experience in a video posted on Instagram on Saturday, October 10, 2026, as she celebrated her 25th birthday. Her disclosure also offered an explanation for her prolonged absence from social media, which had prompted questions from fans and followers.
“I know many of you may be surprised seeing me in a wheelchair,” Daniels said, introducing the video in which she reflected on her health and recovery.
She explained that the condition began as what appeared to be a minor problem but gradually became more serious. According to the actress, her mobility deteriorated further after the last public event she hosted, a Children’s Day carnival.
“For several months now, I lost my freedom to move around as I please. It started as something minor, very minor, but eventually led to this,” she said.
Daniels described undergoing repeated medical tests as doctors tried to understand her condition. She said the pain sometimes became unbearable, with her ability to walk changing from one day to another.
“The pain became excruciating. Sometimes I find myself walking well, and sometimes I just can’t move,” she disclosed, adding that the experience had brought her to tears.
Despite the difficulties, the actress expressed gratitude for what she described as significant progress in her recovery. She credited her faith in God with helping her navigate the challenging period and said the improvement encouraged her to speak publicly about her experience.
Her disclosure has drawn attention to the physical and emotional difficulties that can accompany prolonged health problems, particularly when they affect a person’s independence and everyday activities.
Daniels is a well-known Nigerian film actress who began acting at a young age and has built a substantial following through her film roles and social media presence.
As of the latest reports, she had not publicly identified the specific medical condition responsible for her mobility difficulties. Her latest update focused on her experience, ongoing recovery and hope for better health.
