Jessie J revealed to fans in an update that she is still dealing with the painful throat condition that had hindered her ability to sing.

The singer posted on Instagram how a throat condition has drastically affected her singing abilities within the past four to five months along with a video where she’s singing during a session with her speech therapist as reported by PEOPLE. She writes, “The first song I sang was ‘I Want Love.’ Just hearing myself sing it and feel so vulnerable whilst singing bought me to tears,” she wrote. “I have never ever to this day (since recording it) been able to sing it because of the pain I am experiencing. Man, it’s been hard not singing.”

Back in February, Jessie J started to experience a burning sensation in her throat but she ignored the symptom believing it was due to fatigue. “When I went to see a doctor I was told I have major acid reflux and nodules because I have continued to sing with acid reflux which was probably caused by the steroids I had taken for my ear late last year,” she added.

She continued to speak on how none of the medications were working for her and visiting different doctors to figure out what was wrong with her throat. So far, nothing has alleviated her throat condition.

“I am still in pain everyday. With rest and little talking/singing the nodules melted away. Like Olaf in the sun. But every doctor has told me if I sing (especially these songs) the nodules will just come right back.”
