Eamonn Holmes shares health update as he employs new tech in struggle with chronic pain

Eamonn Holmes has revealed that he's employing a new bit of tech every day to help treat his chronic pain.

This Morning's Eamonn host, 61, has been documenting his pain in recent weeks after he was left in the "worst pain" he's ever experienced.

It even stopped him from walking the dog or hitting balls on the golf course.

And since doctors got to the bottom of his agony and diagnosed a dislocated pelvis, Eamonn has dedicated himself to daily sessions with a circulation booster.

The new kit, which he uses for 20 minutes a day, sends electric pulses to ease blood flow.

"I had a bit of difficulty with waking before and after a double hip operation," the broadcaster said, according to The Sun.

Eamonn explained: "It gives these pulses through your feet and legs and really, really helps with your circulation.

"I credit this with getting me back out on the golf course, getting me out there walking the dog - much to Ruth's approval."

Eamonn presented This Morning last week alongside wife and co-host Ruth Langsford despite the pain.

But after an ad break, the pain became so great that he was unable to make it back onto set in time.

He returned moments later with a walking stick, and proceeded to chat with members of the public about their own experiences of chronic pain.

Ruth told: "Now, many of you who follow Eamonn on social media will know he has been talking a lot about chronic pain.

"It's ironic that he's not here because he had to nip to the loo. It takes him so long walking, so he's just on his way back. It takes him longer to walk now."

He had told viewers earlier in the show that the pain was giving him sleepless nights.

"About a month ago I did something to my back, I don't know what," Eamonn recalled, "It could have been getting into a car, getting out of bed, whatever.

"I've got an MRI scan but the problem is everything closes down at Easter so I haven't got it analysed yet.

"What I do know is I can’t sleep at night, the pain is worse at night.

"The humbling thing about this is when you go on social media you talk to people about who suffers from this you realise age isn't a barrier, where you live isn't a barrier, how much you earn isn't a barrier… so many of you have this chronic pain from all sorts of different sources."
