The Kylie Cosmetics founder detailed her experience on Instagram Stories on Wednesday, December 3, offering a glimpse into a medical path she pursued after conventional treatments proved ineffective.
A Three-Year Battle with Postpartum Pain
Jenner has been grappling with critically important back pain for nearly three years, stemming from the physical changes associated with her most recent pregnancy. “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 in a series of posts. The pain significantly impacted her quality of life, prompting her to explore option therapies.
Inspired by Kim Kardashian’s Experience
The decision to investigate stem cell therapy wasn’t made lightly. Jenner revealed she was encouraged by the positive results her sister, Kim Kardashian, experienced with the same treatment. “Hearing how much relief Kim got gave me the confidence to look into stem cell therapy,” she stated. Jenner sought treatment from Dr. Akhan and his team at @eterna.health, expressing gratitude for the “chance and resources” provided.
The Treatment Process
Jenner shared images of herself in a hospital bed with bandages on her lower back,documenting the physical aspects of the therapy. She emphasized the importance of individual research and consultation with medical professionals. “Everyone’s body is different, but this has been a huge step in my healing,” she noted. “definitely do your research… talk to your doctor and medical professionals,but I just wanted to share in case this helps anyone.”
The revelation of her health struggles comes after Jenner previously opened up about the challenges of being a young mother. In a November appearance on her sister Khloé Kardashian’s podcast, Khloé in Wonder Land, Jenner discussed the difficulty of balancing her personal identity with the demands of parenthood. She admitted it was initially “really hard” adjusting to motherhood, particularly while navigating the emotional and physical changes of postpartum recovery.
Jenner, who shares daughter Stormi, 7, and son Aire, 3, with ex Travis Scott, also acknowledged the unique experience of being among the first in her social circle to become a mother. She found support in fellow mother yris Palmer, noting their growing closeness. “I think I did a pretty good job,” Jenner reflected, adding that it “just takes time” to regain a sense of self after having children. Kardashian echoed this sentiment, stating it took her approximately a year after each pregnancy to “really feel like herself again.”
Jenner’s openness about her health journey and the complexities of motherhood continues to resonate with her fans and followers.
