Britney Spears Reveals Struggle with ‘Serious Nerve Damage’: ‘Can’t Even Think Sometimes’

Britney Spears has once again opened up about her health issues in a candid manner.

In a now-deleted Instagram post, the 42-year-old singer expressed her desire to forgive those whom she believes caused her “serious nerve damage” on the right side of her body.

This condition has been so severe that it sometimes affects her ability to think clearly.

Spears hinted at a past period when she felt trapped against her will for an extended period, possibly referring to her conservatorship, which was terminated in November 2021. She stated that she hasn’t been the same since that time.

In addition to her revelations, Spears shared a thought-provoking photo by Abagail Catania.

The image depicted a Black man wearing a mask and holding a sign that highlighted the generational wealth disparity between White and Black individuals, emphasizing the generational trauma experienced by Black people.

I portray myself as very together on IG, but there are a lot of people who don’t know what my body physically went through!!!” Spears wrote alongside a cryptic photo.

The singer further emphasized that despite her portrayal of being put-together on social media, many people are unaware of the physical toll her body has endured. She acknowledged the profound trauma she has experienced, which she described as still being present and likely to persist.

Spears has learned to cope with her trauma by doing her best and accepting that it’s OK to have bad days or not feel OK. However, she expressed frustration at expressing her emotions due to external pressures. She claimed to feel bullied and mistreated.

This revelation about nerve damage follows Spears’ recent disclosure of breaking her foot during an incident at the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles on May 2. She shared with her fans online that she had fallen while dancing inside the hotel, resulting in a significant injury.

Spears’ willingness to openly discuss her health issues and personal struggles provides insight into her journey and the obstacles she has faced.

The singer also opened up about the “intense” trauma she’s still experiencing.

The singer informed her fans the following week that she had a fractured foot. However, by May 18, she happily announced that her foot had fully recovered. “I was quite stubborn and handled it my way!!” she exclaimed, sharing a video of her foot, which was visibly swollen and bruised. “I ignored anyone’s advice!! I even wore high heels and danced with enthusiasm!!
