A year after suffering a neck herniation, HGTV star Jasmine Roth is still battling ongoing pain. On October 29, 2023, Roth—best known for her upbeat presence on “Help! I Wrecked My House”—took to Instagram to share the difficult road she’s been navigating in her recovery.
In an honest and heartfelt post, the 39-year-old designer recounted how it has now been a full year since she sustained the injury during what was supposed to be a routine family visit on the East Coast. Accompanied by her mother and two-year-old daughter Hazel, Roth had traveled from California to New Jersey to see her grandfather. However, as they made their way across the country, she couldn’t shake off an unsettling feeling that something was wrong.
Despite trying various treatments over the past year—from physical therapy sessions to therapeutic injections—Roth continues to face days when pain overwhelms her ability to function. During these tough moments, she leans heavily on the unwavering support of both her family and professional team. As she gears up for Season 4 of “Help! I Wrecked My House,” set for release on November 8th, Roth decided it was time to open up about this personal struggle publicly. She emphasized that sharing this part of her life wasn’t about seeking pity but rather offering comfort and solidarity with others who are also dealing with chronic pain so they might find solace in knowing they’re not alone.
