Cruz Beckham's older girlfriend, Jackie Apostel, revealed she's still in pain as she discussed her spinal surgery. The 19-year-old son of David and Victoria Beckham has been linked to 29-year-old for many months and recently brought her along for to a family yacht trip in Miami. It was previously said the couple are believed to be smitten after starting dating in June when they were spotted publicly together at Glastonbury.
Jackie, who is a Brazilian singer, recently took to her Instagram Stories to ask for advice after getting a spinal fusion. She wrote over a photo of her dog: "Question for my friends that have also had a spinal fusion - do you guys feel like it gets way more tense and painful when it's cold outside too?".
A spinal fusion is a surgical procedure that joins two or more vertebrae in the spine to reduce pain, correct problems, and make the spine more stable. During the operation, the surgeon places a bone graft in the space between the vertebrae to prevent excessive movement.
Back in October, Jackie posted a snap of the huge scar shortly after she underwent the operation. She told followers that she lost the ability to walk after the surgery and had to relearn how to. She never shared many details of her surgery but said the operation left her bedridden.
"Random thought. Wild to think 3 months ago I was relearning to walk and couldn't get up," she said. "Physically and mentally I had a hard time, took forever to be ok with myself again especially work and writing wise. Our bodies are awesome and capable of so much. Take a moment to be grateful for ur support systems, own willpower and strength, whatever ur going through.
