It’s obvious to anyone that Adele certainly isn’t having any problems with her famous vocal cords. She does, however, appear to be facing issues with her back. As she struggled to walk from one side of the stage to the other during her New Year’s Eve performance, Adele revealed to the audience, “I have to waddle these days as I have really bad sciatica,” per Hello! Magazine.
According to Johns Hopkins Medicine, sciatica is pain in the largest nerve in your body, your sciatic nerve. This nerve starts at the back of your pelvis and stretches through your thigh. Sciatica causes lower back pain, but it usually heals itself over time.
While it’s common for sciatica to take care of itself, that method of pain relief requires rest. Rest is not exactly a luxury that someone performing two sold-out shows per week for five months really has (via Vivid Seats). Consequently, plenty of fans have been quick to share tips and advice to Adele on social media for relieving her back problems. Twitter users have suggested everything from acupuncture to full-blown back surgery. As it turns out, though, the singer already has quite a bit of experience managing back pain.
