The Northern Irish star has been struggling with pain after a dislocated pelvis made his back go ‘out of alignment’, which caused him difficulty to walk.
But this week Eamonn shared how circulation boosters have helped him ‘get back out there’ doing daily activities.
According to The Sun, Eamonn said of the treatment: ‘I had a bit of difficulty with waking before and after a double hip operation.’
As well as using the circulation booster, Eamonn has helped alleviate his pain with physiotherapy and ice cold showers, which have left him feeling ‘invigorated’ amid his health woes.

Eamonn first spoke about his dislocated pelvis back in March and had an MRI scan recently to have further tests done after being left in chronic pain.
Earlier this month, Eamonn detailed how a dislocated pelvis started his chronic health battle as he waited for results of an MRI scan because his pain has escalated.
He joked in an interview with the Irish Independent that his injury is ‘nowhere near as erotic as it sounds’.
He told the publication: ‘I mysteriously dislocated my pelvis and I don’t know how — it’s not as erotic as it sounds. My back is now out of alignment as a result.’

The Belfast native went on to reveal that since he spoke of his gruelling pain on social media, he found it ‘absolutely scary’ the number of people who are also living with chronic pain.
‘Nobody knows what it’s like unless they live with someone who has it.’ he said. ‘I’m in huge pain and nobody knows how to stop it.
‘This hurts like hell and I need to find a way to overcome it. It has lasted a month and it feels like I can’t remember what life was like without the pain.’
Eamonn and Ruth got married in 2010 following a 13-year romance, and are doting parents to teenage son Jack, 19.
Eamonn also has children Declan, Rebecca and Niall from his previous marriage to Gabrielle Holmes.
