Amy Schumer's Laminectomy, Cushing's, & Kinda Pregnant | Biography Flash

Amy Schumer Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

Amy Schumer has been in the public eye for some highly personal and significant reasons over the past few days. According to AOL and her own Instagram, she recently underwent laminectomy surgery to relieve chronic pain in her lower back—a result of a surfing injury from years ago. She shared a photo at home with a walker, sporting a relaxed Catskills sweatshirt and her signature candor, saying she was on a short recovery and would buy herself a bra once feeling better. The recovery is expected to be brief, and hundreds of friends and famous followers like Kathy Hilton, Elle King, and Bethenny Frankel sent public well-wishes for her speedy healing. The personal tone of her updates continues the open-book approach Amy has long taken regarding her health, including a Cushing syndrome diagnosis earlier in the year, something she connected directly to internet chatter about her appearance, as reported by AOL. She credits online scrutiny for helping uncover the rare condition, which is caused by high cortisol levels and can result in changes like facial swelling.

On the social media front, Amy has also been poking fun at herself, as usual. She recently posted a no-filter selfie and a playful commitment to never get lip fillers, joking to fans that she’ll always be “your favorite comedian with no top lip.” In the same Instagram video, she described her experience with new weight-loss and hormone routines, including the diabetes medication Mounjaro, and used the platform to shout out Midi Health—a telehealth company she has invested in—offering insights for women navigating hormonal health.

In entertainment news, Amy is staying active on the promotional circuit despite her physical recovery. She’s recently taped an episode of The Drew Barrymore Show set to air this week—joining fellow stars from the upcoming Netflix comedy Kinda Pregnant, where she takes on the lead role. The film is produced by Something Happy Productions, owned by Molly Sims, and the episode promises laughs and lively discussion about both the movie and their personal journeys.

From a business perspective, Amy continues her role as an investor and supporter of influencer ventures like Pearpop, part of her growing reputation as a celebrity entrepreneur. No major scandals or controversies have developed in the last 24 hours, but some media outlets, including FandomWire, have noted that old bold jokes from past interviews occasionally resurface online, sparking new debates over comedic boundaries and social norms.
