Frankie Grande has shared an important update on his health following cervical spine surgery.
The 42-year-old actor took to his Instagram account on Monday to share a photo of himself lying in a hospital bed, confirming that his surgery was successful.
“Wink if you just got fixed,” Frankie wrote in the caption. “Today I had scheduled cervical spine surgery to relieve pressure on the nerves in my neck that have been causing pain and neurological symptoms for some time.”
Ariana Grande’s older brother further wrote, “The procedure went exactly as expected, no surprises, no drama (for this time), just very precise work by an incredible medical team.”
The New York City native explained what he did to treat the persistent injuries he was suffering from.
“They removed bone and tissue that was compressing the nerves, giving my spinal cord, discs, and radiating nerves the space it needs to heal and function properly,” Frankie revealed.
The ‘Henry Danger’ actor further shared that he would be focusing on his recovery over the next month.
“Now comes four weeks of healing, rest, physical therapy and being kinder to my body than usual,” Frankie wrote. “I’m in pain, I’m tired, but I’m safe, I’m relieved and I already have hope.”
The Big Brother alum also thanked his fans for the “love, messages and support” he has received so far.
“Truly felt and deeply appreciated. This is a healing process,” Frankie wrote. “Goodbye…stronger, more stable, and more upright.”
