Let’s go back to the start for a sec… back in early January, before she welcome daughter Birdie Mae to the world, Jessica realized that her ankles were CRAZY swollen. Obviously, when you’re pregnant, stuff gets bigger — but this was, like, a new zip code! Ha!!!
She took to IG to ask her followers and fans if there was anything she could do to make things a little bit easier on her poor joints, sharing a pic and writing (below):
Oh nooooo!!!!!
Fans and followers quickly came through for Jess, and the singer started using remedies to bring down the swelling — including cupping, an ancient Chinese massage therapy technique used to increase blood flow in an area.
Just over a week later, she returned to IG to show off the early results, which — as you can see (below) weren’t much, but they were something:
Hey, you’ve gotta start somewhere, right?!
A couple months later, after her third child’s birth in March, Simpson returned to IG to give an update on the status of our now-favorite joints, sharing a picture and writing (below):
Hey, things are starting to get really good again! Dare we say everything looks… nearly normal?!
Not completely, though — as we know now, Jess still had a little room left to improve further.
And well, on Tuesday morning, she got all the way back to where she wanted to be!
Look (below), Jessica Simpson has officially reunited with her ankles:
Yay! Time to celebrate! Ha!!!
Seriously, though, what a six-month ordeal that turned out to be! We’re just glad that everything ended up as it should have — CONGRATS, Jessica!!!
