Maricel Soriano opened up about a health condition that has affected her mobility.

In her latest YouTube vlog, the actress revealed that she is currently dealing with arthritis in her spine, making it difficult for her to walk.

"Kasi 'yung spine ko may arthritis hanggang leeg ko. Tapos nung first na-experience ko 'to in-injectionan na ako sa likod. Tapos 'yung sumunod dahil hindi pa nawawala 'yung pain, kasi side lang eh, so ginawa nila mismong sa spine nila ako sinaksakan ng steriods," she relayed.

"Tapos matagal bago nag-effect kaya  iika-ika akong maglakad tsaka 'yung paa ko... manhid, parang may mga karayom na tumutusok," she added.

As per my.clevelandclinic.org, spinal arthritis is "inflammation in the joints between your vertebrae, the bones that link together to make your spine." The condition can "affect any section of your spine, but it’s most common to have spinal arthritis in your neck or lower back."

In addition to spinal arthritis, Maricel is also dealing with a pinched nerve.

Despite the pain, the Kapamilya actress remains hopeful and is exploring different treatment options before resorting to surgery.

"Ito namang sakit na 'to gumagaling naman 'to. Actually ang sabi nga magpa-opera ka na para matapos na ang sakit na 'yan. Pupunta tayo dun pero kasi tinitingan namin lahat ng way kung papano para hindi 'yan surgery ang mangyari, sana kasi ayaw ko," she said.

"Siyempre nakatikim na ako ng caesarean [delivery], hindi ba? Ang operation is not a joke. That's why parang ako gusto ko rin ma-introduce rin ako dun sa ibang anggulo, para gumaling ako."

To help manage her condition, Maricel has been undergoing physical therapy, which includes aquatic walking exercises and stretching.

For those going through the same condition, Maricel offered this advice: "Doon po sa mga tao na may sakit din na ganito, when your body talks, you listen. Dapat ganun eh. Sabi kasi nila what you eat today will walk and talk tomorrow."

She also emphasized the power of faith, saying: "Tsaka huwag kang matatakot, nandiyan si Lord. Tsaka dapat lagi natin isipin 'yung ibang tao nagawan ng himala, di ba? Ikaw pa ba eh love ka ni God."

Fans online were quick to extend their well wishes for Maricel.
