Ella Emhoff, the stepdaughter of Vice President Kamala Harris, revealed this week that she grew up with a spinal condition that caused a “hunchback” – and suggested taking the controversial drug ketamine as a way to manage pain.

The left-leaning activist daughter of Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff made this recommendation in one of several Instagram posts this week, also admitting that she has suffered from “severe chronic back pain” for most of her life.

“I was born with a condition called tethered spine syndrome (iykyk) which caused my back to not lengthen properly as I grew, causing kyphosis (hunchback),” Emhoff, 25, whose face is covered in Hello Kitty stickers, wrote to her 345,000 followers on Tuesday.

Tethered spine is a condition in which the spinal cord becomes stuck to the inside of the spinal canal. If left untreated, this can lead to permanent damage to the spinal nerves and loss of bodily functions.

“I was in and out of doctors and physical therapists for most of my youth. After lower back surgery, I grew a million inches and now suffer from chronic pain,” she continued.

The IMG model and fashion designer asked her “colleagues who suffer from chronic pain” what they use “to feel comfortable.”

The next day, Emhoff posted another Instagram story linking to a Google Sheet titled “Big Pain Management List.”

Suggestions – broken down by devices, topicals, exercises, lifestyle, therapies and books – include “ketamine infusions.”

Matthew Perry died of a ketamine overdose on October 28. He battled his drug addiction for years.

Five people were arrested Thursday for supplying and administering the ketamine that killed the “Friends” star and another man.

Other suggestions for combating chronic pain, according to Emhoff’s list, include “no guilt about the pain, 14 hours of sleep, complaining, crying, acceptance, hypnosis, giving up sugar and no alcohol (sic).”

“These are all just recommendations for me and should not be taken as medical advice. I’m just a girl trying to be in less pain,” Emhoff wrote on the list.

Dr. Michael Harbison, a Las Vegas chiropractor, sharply criticized some of Emhoff’s recommendations.

“In my professional opinion, there are far better ways to deal with chronic pain than ketamine and mushrooms,” he told the Post, adding that these treatments “are not for back pain – they basically just get you high.”

Emhoff did not respond to a request for comment.
