JoJo Siwa Discusses Particulars of Her Newest Well being Emergency

JoJo Siwa is opening up about some difficult health challenges she faced over the holiday weekend. 

The dancer and social media star shared that up until about an hour before her performance at Mall of America on November 28, she was in the hospital. 

In a 7 minute long TikTok, Siwa gave her fans a full rundown of the situation that unfolded. 

“If you follow along closely with my life, then you know yesterday was a bit hectic,” Siwa said in the November 29 TikTok. 

She then went on to explain in the video that for several days prior to the performance, she was experiencing what she thought were just bad stomach or period cramps that would come and go when walking and dancing.

The morning before the Mall of America performance, Siwa’s pain began to get worse. 

She decided to try to take a nap to recover, but couldn’t fall asleep due to the pain. She then decided to take a bath instead, which she said made the pain “a hundred times worse.”

Siwa quickly got out of the bath and called her mom, who came up to her room and called 911, before escorting her to the hospital. 

“The ultrasound revealed, long story short, that one of my ovaries had a cyst on it that burst and was bleeding into my stomach,” she said. “It should resolve itself, it should stop on its own, I gotta go get it looked at in a week.”

Because there was nothing the hospital could do other than give her some pain medication, Siwa was luckily able to return to Mall of America in time for her performance. 

“It’s basically just excruciating pain, but the good news is we know what it is, and I think that brought a lot of peace of mind to me,” she continued in the video.

“Now I know the pain, I know what the pain is, and so I know, just take a second and it will settle, it will calm down. But any time it moves, even when I’m asleep and I roll over, it wakes me up because it hurts and cramps so bad.”
