In the run-up to the arrival of her second pregnancy, Stephanie Demner shared a situation that worried her followers. True to her style, the influencer often shows different moments of her daily life on social media and this time she revealed that she had to go to urgent care after feeling a strong pain in her body.
A few hours earlier, Stephanie hinted that she was at a health center through a black-and-white selfie. “Guess where I am on this beautiful sunny day,” she wrote alongside the image, which suggested she was indoors.
Shortly after, she explained what had happened in a video shot from her car. “Good day, lovely people. I just got back from urgent care because today I coughed and I felt a pain that made me think: ‘Alright, rib fracture’,” she recounted, conveying how intense the discomfort was.
Later she shared the result of the tests that had been performed. “They did an ultrasound and told me I have a muscle spasm that won’t let me move,” she explained, visibly frustrated by the pain.
What is a Muscle Spasm
A muscle spasm is an involuntary and sudden contraction of a muscle that can cause pain and temporarily limit movement. It can arise for different reasons, including physical exertion, muscle overuse, certain movements, or staying in the same position for a long time.
There are also other factors that can contribute to muscle discomfort, so the causes depend on each case and should be evaluated by a health professional.
In Stephanie’s case, the diagnosis was made after the medical evaluation she underwent at the emergency department. Therefore, any treatment or recovery guidance should follow the recommendations of the professionals who treated her, especially considering that she is pregnant.
What Stephanie Said About the Diagnosis
Accompanied by her husband Guido Pella, who drove her and was with her during the consultation, the influencer explained that he had even anticipated what could be the source of her pain.
“But I kept thinking: ‘No, I broke a rib’. Source: my community. We laughed for an entire week and I said: karma, there it is…,” she said with a smile while her husband could be heard in the background.
The influencer took the episode with humor after learning the diagnosis and made clear that despite the intensity of the pain, it was not the fracture she had initially imagined.
Thus, Stephanie returned to share with her followers another chapter of her pregnancy and showed, with her usual spontaneity, how she endured an unexpected visit to the emergency department. Between the initial scare and her partner’s humor, the influencer aimed to reassure her community after learning the diagnosis.
