Actress Selma Blair shared an update about how she’s feeling as she battles multiple sclerosis, saying she is in pain “all the time.”

The 51–year-old “Cruel Intentions” star posted about what’s going on in an Instagram update.

“I hurt all the time,” Blair said in the video. “I say that only for you people that hurt also. Like, I get it. And for all of us, for all of us, just aging, it hurts. You have to stretch.”

The actress went on to explain, “It’s hard for me to stretch because of the Ehler-Danlos.”

Ehler-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is a group of inherited disorders that affects connective tissue. “Your muscles just aren’t as stable,” she added.

Blair continued, “So, the Ehler-Danlos makes me really, really, really stiff because I’ll pull my muscles too easily and then they’re like slack and sit there. So I get some injuries.”

“This is nothing that’s like horrible, scary stuff or anything. It’s just like one of those extra things that turns into a chronic thing, and you have to watch, because people think stretching’s so good for you, and I’m technically not allowed to stretch, because I’m always stretching,” Blair said.

Meanwhile, the “Legally Blonde” star said, “The MS is fine. I’m still in remission,” mentioning she’s due for an MRI.

“I still get tired, I still am stiff, like, all the time,” Blair said while she was in bed getting an IV, which she added “helps so much.”

“If I’m by myself, I do move and walk better,” she said. “I notice when I go out, it’s still very pronounced.”

The actress said she’s not complaining about her struggles, however. “When people say, ‘What do you want to do with your life?’ It still makes me sad that I just want to sleep and then get on my horse and be better,” Blair said.

“I’m a beginner every day. So it’s like, Groundhog Day — and I am doing really well [but]…I don’t know if I’ll ever have the coordination or balance or stamina that I want to.”

“Still lucky. Still grateful. Still okay,” she concluded. “But still a bummer.”
