Amy Schumer feels "so grateful" to be pain free

After receiving a string of compliments about her recent weight loss, Amy admitted she is "enjoying" her appearance but the way she feels is more important.

Sharing some photos of herself glammed up for an event, she wrote on Instagram: "@gitabass did my makeup and took these pictures which I love! @tousledbyjae did my hair on his birthday! The black and white dress is @maisonvalentino thanks Brenda!

"I'm feeling strong and like myself. I'm enjoying how I look but man it is all about how you feel.

"I'm so grateful to be pain free thanks to my trainer Mona at reload who has helped strengthen me since my back surgery and @seckinmd for lifting all the endometriosis' out of my body. @midihealth helping me navigate perimenopause and my psychologist.

"I got all dressed up and ready to go to my friends 50th and then decided I wasn't feeling up to it and wanted to stay home with my little guy. Thanks for all the love. Sending it right back [heart eye emoji] (sic)"

The 44-year-old star revealed in August she had undergone spinal surgery and shared a photo of her using a walking frame to help her stand.

She wrote on Instagram: "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!"

Amy has previously been candid about her health issues, and last year she revealed she had been diagnosed with Cushing syndrome, a hormone disorder caused by prolonged exposure to steroids.

She wrote in a News Not Noise newsletter: "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."

Amy was made aware of her condition after being criticised for her "puffier" face, a common side effect of Cushing syndrome.

She quipped: "But thank God for that. Because that's how I realised something was wrong."

Earlier this year, the Trainwreck star revealed she had had a "really good experience" with Mounjaro after struggling with Wegovy, another weight-loss drug.

She said on Instagram: "Three years ago, I tried Wegovy. I was puking, I couldn't handle it.

"I don't know if they've changed the formula, whatever. But anyway, I went on this Telehealth meeting with Midi Health, and it was cheap. I wanted to try it myself 'cause I wanted to recommend it to my friends who are nurses and teachers."

Amy noted that the clinic "put [her] on oestrogen and progesterone".

She continued: "I realised I was in perimenopause and my symptoms from being perimenopausal have disappeared."

The actress has seen a marked change in her appearance since she adopted the new drug.

She said: "My hair is fuller, my skin is better, I have more energy, I want to get down more, if you know what I mean. I'm talking about sex. So that's been great and Mounjaro's been great."
