"Teen Mom" star Jenelle Evans has revealed she is bedridden for two days following an "intensive spinal procedure." The former MTV face, fired from the popular franchise in 2019, has told fans doctors are investigating why she's suffering a "neck popping" issue. Addressing her Instagram fans, the mom of three updated earlier this week while in a face mask and explaining that she'd undergone a CT scan with dye, but that after the procedure, she can't get up or do any straining activity.

Speaking via her stories and to her 2.9 million followers, Jenelle stated: "I know a lot of you are probably wondering."
"Well a CT scan isn't that bad with contrast.You just get it done. You walk out. You're done.' Yeah that's a normal ct scan. What I had done was a CT myelogram. So what they do is basically you get a spinal tap. You get an epidural. And they put the dye into your spinal cord.”

Evans, who made 2019 headlines for revealing esophagus issues resulting in spasms, added:
"And then it glows up and then they do x-rays and CT scans like boom, boom, boom, before the dye goes away," continuing: "And then it shows the inside of your spinal cord. And that is why I got this done was to look more in depth because yes, I have MRI's. Yes, I have CT scans. Basically, I have neck popping issues, and we don't know why.”

Supported by formerly-estranged husband David Eason, 32, the 29-year-old reality star confirmed medics want her "lying flat," and that no "extraneous" activity can be performed for 24 hours. The brunette also shared a hospital photo of herself with an IV in her hand, thanking fans for the "motivation" and promising she'd made a YouTube video about it.
Jenelle is also fresh from revealing she has a new "job." Joking about her fans telling her to get a real one, the star confirmed: "Step into my world" as she hinted at "big news coming soon." See her bikini body below!

Jenelle, heavily body-shamed in 2020 as she revealed having gained a little pandemic weight, has been steadily shutting down the shamers with her stunning bikini curves, also clapping back via TikTok with those spandex-clad poolside dances.
Jenelle shot to fame over a decade ago on MTV's "16 & Pregnant" before becoming a core member of "Teen Mom 2." In 2019, alongside husband Eason, Evans was fired from the franchise as Eason shot and killed the family dog Nugget.
