But after taking a few steps, she stops, and suddenly begins to twerk.
Above her dancing, she shares on screen: “Barely surviving 2021 then stepping into 2022 like…”
She captioned the video: “Starting out #2022 with a dance.”
TUMORS AND PAIN
Jenelle, 30, knows a lot about ‘barely surviving’ as she deals with what she describes as a series of “painful” tumors, including two in her spine and one in her neck.
The reality star gave a sad update about her health in a TikTok video over the weekend, responding to a commenter who said they were a “huge fan.”
“Hey, thanks for the support,” Jenelle said in her front-facing video while laying down on a bed. “I’ve just been taking things easy lately.

“I’m making my health number one right now, so if it seems like I kind of lost my spark or motivation, I kind of have.
“I’ve recently been diagnosed with, you know, two tumors in my spine.
“They also recently found out I have a tumor in my neck which hurts pretty bad … I’ve just been in a lot of pain lately and my neck is just killing me.”
The former Teen Mom 2 star, who shared her struggles with her spine disorder before, said she has an “update” with her neurosurgeon next week.
JENELLE’S DISORDER
Jenelle suffers from the disorder syringomyelia, which causes fluid-filled cysts (called a syrinx) to develop within the spinal cord.
The symptoms include headaches, pain, loss of reflexes and muscle weakness.
In some extreme cases they can lead to paralysis.
She posted about how she “found a few tumors in my spine” in December in a somber Instagram Story, asking for “#PrayersPlease.”
Earlier that month, she also posted a gloomy TikTok screaming along to an emo song, lip-syncing the lyrics: “I don’t need drugs, because I’m already high enough.”
She then wrote over the clip, seemingly quoting her doctors: “When you already have a growing cyst in your spine… and the doctors ‘can’t help you. When you become paralyzed go to the ER.'”
The star first broke the news about her condition on her Instagram Stories in March, saying she was “in shock.” She elaborated in a YouTube vlog called, “My Neck, My Back.”
The mother of three said she was battling daily headaches and dealing with her neck “cracking 10 times a day.”
On her latest video, skeptical fans offered their sarcastic support for the dancing mama.
One person wrote: “Glad you’re healed. It’s a miracle.”
Another added: “Them tumors must not be bothering U today eh?”
KEEP ON TWERKING
Whatever the level of pain she may or may not be in, it apparently can’t keep her from dancing. Or twerking.
Previously, Jenelle recorded a video with David where she twerked at a gas station while celebrating her 30th birthday.
She donned a short body-hugging red dress, black heels and a jacket for the ocassion while her husband wore blue jeans, a brown button down shirt and a brown jacket.
The pair took turns in front of the camera as they made sexy gestures while filling the car up with gas.
In October, she turned twerking into a family affair, dancing in a thong bikini with her daughter Ensley.
The Teen Mom 2 alum twerked in the short clip as the little one tried to keep up with the choreography.
Jenelle had her hair combed into a bun as she wore a rainbow-themed top and thong.
Ensley had her own adorable swimsuit on as well.
The youngster had straightened out her long brunette hair.
Out in the woods, the mother/daughter duo performed the Linda and Heather theme song “together and forever.”
Jenelle captioned the post: “We both forgot what we were doing until the end.”
