Kerry Katona has opened up about her crippling back pain that makes her 'feel like an 89-year-old'.
In an Instagram video, the former Atomic Kitten singer today revealed the extent of the pain and how much it is affecting her everyday life.
After struggling to find a diagnosis following visits to A&E, she is heading to a clinic to undergo tests for what she believes is endometriosis - a painful condition where tissue that is present inside the uterus instead grows outside it.
Kerry, 39, was rushed in to hospital last month with a mystery illness, discussed her health with her followers and fears she has the painful disorder.
In the video, Kerry says: “I’m only 39 and I’m acting like an 89-year-old.
“I’m getting up in the morning and I’m trying to do my housework. I’ve got a three storey, six bedroomed house, I don’t have cleaners or child care or anything like that. I’m really suffering.
“I burst into tears this morning. I can’t do this anymore. All I’m doing is moaning all the time and I’m sick of it. I’m not really a moaning person. I’m always happy and jolly and I like to be productive.
“When I’m not productive and I’m sat down on a couch and alone with my thoughts, it’s a really scary place to be guys.
“Suffering with mental illness, you start overthinking things.”
She added: “It’s starting to ruin my life.”
The Celebs Go Dating star first spoke of her issues in a social media post in October where she shared a collection of snaps from her hospital bed.
Lay in a hospital bed with a drip in her arm, she said: "Still in hospital"
Later she sent the update: "Still in!!! No news!"
She was supported by her fella Ryan Mahoney who accompanied her to A&E.
"Bless him! Keeping me company," she gushed.
