Kris Aquino undergoing physical therapy after leg muscles became thin
Kris Aquino has started undergoing physical therapy after her leg muscles became thin amid her battle against her multiple autoimmune diseases.
In a joint Instagram post by the actress' close friend Dindo Balares as well as her official fan page, Kris could be seen using a walker to move about after her legs became noticeably thin as of recent.
"'Ganyan kapayat my legs. That's why I need physical therapy. And I'm 87 pounds, Kuya Dindo,'" Kris told her friend, per the picture's caption.
The post said that Kris started the procedure at the Makati Medical Center due to the extreme pain she is feeling from her weakened muscles.
"Labis na pagdurusa ang pinagdadaanan ni Kris at sa sobrang sakit, madalas ay umiiyak na lamang ito," it continued.
"We’re keeping you in our prayers, Miss Kris, and wishing you a smooth and speedy recovery. Grabe paghihirap ni Kris sa sakit niya pero napaka-strong niya," the fan page added.
In a separate post by Dindo on the platform, the Queen of All Media gave an update regarding her situation and shared that she has now been discharged from the hospital.
This is evidenced by her recent entry on her Instagram stories where she took a picture of herself celebrating Halloween with "these two boys," possibly referring to her sons Joshua and Bimby.
Dindo then relayed Kris' message to her followers: "Please say that please let me get my health okay and the matulungin Kris will definitely be back. I just need to start working para may pang-share."
She continued, "I don't want sadness for my followers. Because I want them to continue praying. We all need to have faith although, Kuya Dindo aamin ako- sa sobrang sakit there are moments I really can't help but cry. I remind myself though, I'm allowed because I'm still human."
Kris returned to the Philippines in September earlier this year after spending two years in the United States for medical tests and procedures. She is striving to combat six autoimmune conditions, three of which are life-threatening: Churg-Strauss syndrome, systemic sclerosis, and lupus.
