Gok told fans he had been experiencing pain in his wrist and had to have an X-ray to get to the bottom of it.
The chef said doctors believe he has a condition called De Quervain’s syndrome, where the sheath covering the tendons on the thumb side of the wrist becoming thickened and painful.
When the sheath thickens, the tunnel becomes narrower, and it is more difficult for the tendons to slide through, according to the NHS.
This can result in the tendons becoming inflamed and often results in pain when using the hand.
Alongside the post of looking in discomfort, Gok wrote: “Just had an X-ray on my wrist… doc thinks I have De Quervain’s Tenosynvovitis but I had an X-ray to check nothing is wrong with my joints.
“Huge shout out to our incredible NHS… Thank you for looking after me and everyone else.”
Many fans reacted to Gok’s post and shared their own experiences to help the star.
One wrote: “I had that it’s so painful – a lovely splint for a few months helped me – sending you lots of healing.”
A second posted: “I’m glad you’re getting the care you need. Isn’t our NHS wonderful?”
