Amy Schumer needs a helping hand after undergoing back surgery on Friday.
The 44-year-old shared a health update on Instagram alongside a photo of herself using a walker to move around her home.
In typical Amy fashion, she explained the reason for her operation with a touch of humor, captioning the photo: "Since my surfing injury back in the day my L5 has been killing me.
"Today I got a laminectomy! It's a short recovery and when I'm feeling better I will buy a bra!" she added.
Her followers were quick to send her supportive messages, with one replying: "That sounds hardcore! Hope your lamin gets better soon." A second said: "Feel better, you’ll be back stronger than ever."
A third added: "Feel better, Amy! Hoping this surgery provides you the relief you need." A fourth wrote: "You're an absolute legend! Hope you feel better."

While Amy has not previously shared information about her back procedure, she has been open about struggles with her health in the past.
In 2021, she underwent a hysterectomy to treat endometriosis, a reproductive disease in which abnormal tissue grows outside the uterus.

"He removed my appendix because the endometriosis had attacked it. There was a lot of blood in my uterus."
Last year, she revealed that she had been diagnosed with the hormonal disorder, Cushing Syndrome, after she was criticized over her "puffier" face, a common side effect of the syndrome, while promoting season 2 of her Hulu show Life & Beth.

She added: "While I was doing press on camera for my Hulu show, I was also in MRI machines four hours at a time, having my veins shut down from the amount of blood drawn and thinking I may not be around to see my son grow up.
"So finding out I have the kind of Cushing that will just work itself out and I'm healthy was the greatest news imaginable."
Earlier this year, Amy also opened up about her experience with weight loss medication Ozempic.

"Like a year ago, I tried it," she said on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen. "I was one of those people that felt so sick and couldn't play with my son.
"Everyone has been lying, saying, 'Oh, smaller portions,'" she added. "Like shut the [expletive] up. You are on Ozempic or one of those things, or you got work done. Just stop."
