Joanna Gaines recovering at home after undergoing spine surgery to relieve back pain

If you are a fan of both reality shows and home design and renovations, you are likely a huge admirer of Fixer Upper. With Chip and Joanna Gaines running the show, it attracted many fans throughout the five seasons it aired.

The couple, who are parents to five children, received their first Emmy nomination for outstanding structured reality program earlier this year. As they are running the popular reality show, the Gaines have also founded their Magnolia Network which made its official launch on cable at the beginning of 2022. They have signed a streaming deal with HBO Max and the network’s shows have already been streaming on Discovery+.

Just recently, Joanna posted photos of herself at a hospital bed while wearing sunglasses and making a peace sign. Her fans got worried for her health condition as the reality star explained she had undergone a microdiscectomy for the second time in her life.

This surgical procedure is a type of spine surgery commonly used to treat a herniated disk, which causes a compression of a spinal nerve and causes pain, among the rest.

Joanna had her first surgery of this type back in 2001 after suffering a back injury while at high-school.

“I’ve always joked that my back likes to act up at the most inconvenient times and I was a bit stressed bc of the timing of it all with the holiday season,” she wrote on Instagram.

This time, she would be forced to experience a different type of holiday due to her surgery.

“But I’m truly grateful for the forced rest during the busiest time of the year. It has been a gift to simply stay put, stare at the wonder all around, and just be still,” she wrote and sent some kind words to her followers. “Wishing you and yours a beautiful Christmas week. It may not all go as planned- but may you find the beauty and embrace the wonder of the here and now,” she wrote and added that she’s staying positive.

Back in November, Joanna Gaines released her memoir The Stories We Tell: Every Piece of Your Story Matters.

We wish her fast recovery.
