KERRY Katona was in crippling pain and unable to stand amid fears she has endometriosis.
The 39-year-old complained she couldn't "move" on Instagram due to back pain after being hospitalised last month.
Kerry said: "Not moved off the sofa... 🤦♀️ want to feel 100%!!!! And doesn’t help when when the weather is like this!!! My bloody back is still playing up."
The former Atomic Kitten singer was hospitalised with severe abdominal pain and although she "initially thought it was a bad case of kidney stones" that condition was ruled out.
Following a series of tests she revealed her results point to endometriosis - a condition where tissue that lines the womb is found outside of it causing chronic pelvic pain and can result in infertility.
Writing in her New! magazine column this week, Kerry said: "You may have seen me out and about looking very uncomfortable - it's because I'm still in such awful pain with my back. I can barely stand up straight. I'm sick of crying about it, but it's really restricting me.

"I'm going to a clinic later this month to see a gynae specialist, but early indications suggest it's endometriosis, which can take years to diagnose."
Kerry said she's been unable to carry out household chores and seeing her messy home has made her feel worse.
She said: "The pain is stopping me from doing housework, and when the housework starts building up it affects my mental health."
Kerry - who is dating personal trainer Ryan Mahoney - also revealed that her pain has made her "nervous" about her upcoming pantomime performance in Sleeping Beauty.
Heavy periods and 4 other signs of endometriosis – and how to treat it
1. Heavy periods
One of the main symptoms is painful periods – but the pain is often more severe than ‘normal’ period pain, and lasts from a few days before the period until the end of the period.
Many women also have low tummy and pelvic pain, which may be worse before and during a period but can be there all the time.
2. Pain during and after sex
Painful sex – especially during deep penetration – is also a common symptom of endometriosis. This can last for several hours after sex.
Penetration and other movements related to sex can pull and stretch endometrial tissue, especially if it has grown behind the vagina or lower uterus.
3. Difficulty conceiving
Endometriosis can also make it harder for you to get pregnant.
If you have endometriosis and are trying to get pregnant without success, it is important that you get help and support so speak to your doctor about being referred to a gynaecologist or a fertility specialist.
4. Bleeding between periods
Spotting between periods might not seem like too bothersome a problem but it can be one of the key signs of endometriosis.
A study published in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology showed premenstrual spotting is the clearest predictor of endometriosis.
5. Pain when you go to the toilet
It can also cause pain when you wee or poo and very occasionally blood in the wee or poo.
You may also experience fatigue, diarrhoea, constipation, bloating or nausea.

She added: "All in all, I'm having a really rough time - I'm nervous about my panto starting next month.
"But if it comes to it, I'll just have to grit my teeth and get on with it."
