Kel Mitchelis thanking fans and loved ones afterhis hospitalization earlier this week.
“I was out shopping when suddenly the whole room started spinning,” Mitchell said in his new video, posted Friday. “So I was like, ‘I must be dehydrated so I need to go get some water, some food.’ "
While in the ER, Mitchell failed an “arm and leg test” that ultimately raised concerns over something “more serious” happening to him, he added.
“Because I could not move my right arm, my motor skills were not working, so CT scan, EKGs, everything they started doing on me. That’s why I had to stay over night,” he said.
But, as Mitchell explained, what he feared “actually wasn’t what it was.”
“It was actually a bulging disc that I had from a prior injury that was pressing up against a nerve, mimicking all those symptoms that I was going through,” he said.

Mitchell first opened up about his medical experience earlier in the week, shortly after TMZ reported that he was admitted to a Los Angeles-area hospital via an emergency room. At the time, Mitchell wrote that he was “grateful for the flood of prayers and positive vibes that surrounded me during a genuinely frightening time.”
“Your kindness has been a lifeline, and I can’t thank you enough. Much love to each of you. ❤️🙏💪🏿.”
Several peers showed support for the actor on Instagram this past week, includingDamon Wayans Jr.andYvette Nicole Brown.
