Actress Omowunmi Dada Undergoes Leg Surgery After Prolonged Pain

Nollywood actress Omowunmi Dada has shared that she underwent leg surgery after enduring persistent pain for an extended period.

On Tuesday, the actress posted a video on Instagram, showing footage of her surgery and the subsequent recovery process.

She revealed that the fear of losing her ability to perform everyday tasks ultimately led her to make the “difficult decision” to undergo the surgery.

She also mentioned that although the healing process is still underway, she is thankful to God for giving her the strength to recover.

“Sometimes, we carry our pain so quietly that the world celebrates us without realizing the weight we bear behind the scenes,” she wrote.

“I had been dealing with leg pain for so long, yet I continued to show up, walk through sets, and smile through moments-but deep down, I was weathering a storm.

“Eventually, I had to make a difficult choice: I underwent surgery. The thought of losing control over the simple things we often take for granted-walking, using the bathroom, moving freely-was humbling.

“But God… He held me. I’m still healing, but my healing is beautiful.”

She also expressed gratitude to her doctors “for your skill and patience” and thanked her loved ones for their unwavering support throughout her recovery.

“To my doctors, thank you for your skill and patience. To my friends who visited, called, messaged, and showed love in various ways-thank you,” she added.

“To my family, your strength became my own. And to anyone experiencing private pain: I see you. I feel you. I pray healing finds you.

“Let’s learn to extend grace. Not everything you see online reveals the whole story. Be kind. Be gentle. Life unfolds behind the scenes.”
