- JoJo Siwa is on bed rest after getting thrown out of her golf cart.

- The "Karma" singer suffered a concussion in the accident and is also healing from an unrelated eye infection.

- "Things aren’t going too well," Siwa told fans, while showing off the infection in a video.

JoJo Siwa is trying to bounce back like a boomerang — but it hasn't been easy.

The "Karma" singer is in the middle of recovering from multiple ailments, she revealed to followers in a Monday social media post. Siwa is wearing an eye patch in the video shared on TikTok and Instagram, where she showed off a "gnarly" eye infection and recounted how she was recently thrown out of her golf cart.

"Things aren’t going too well," Siwa joked at the start of the June 1 update. She then warned fans, "If you don't want to see a scary-looking eye, please look away."

The *Dance Moms* alum then showed back-to-back images of her infected eye, which appeared red and watery. "This is what I'm working with," she quipped. "On top of this, I also have a concussion. I'm a mess!"

Launching into the story, Siwa explained that she recently "fell off" her golf cart. "That's how I got the concussion," she explained. "I was turning left, wheel got locked, cart malfunctioned, went in fast circles, threw me off."

The "Boomerang" singer said she ended up landing on her neck, adding that she "hit [her] head" and "flipped over." The eye infection emerged two to three days later, though Siwa said her doctors believe it is "unrelated" to her golf cart incident. In the meantime, she is stuck on "bed rest" for the next three days while her concussion heals.

Siwa offered more context in the caption of her video, writing, "It’s been a very long week. With rest, my concussion has been recovering well. No where near 100 percent, but on a good track. My eye however, is taking longer than expected to come around."

While Siwa did give credit to her "lovely team of doctors" for guiding her recovery, she noted that she won't be skipping out on tour rehearsals for much longer.

"It’s definitely a bit early to be going back into everything and I have to be very careful of not being 100 percent recovered. But the greatest saying in Hollywood, which I’m realizing to be true: the show must go on," Siwa wrote. "If you see me with sunglasses on, just know, I’m not being a dramatic diva, just taking care of my eye giving it a bit of relief."

The golf injury and accompanying infection continue a tough trend of ailments for Siwa, who just a few months ago was rushed to the hospital for a ruptured cyst. Back in November, Siwa was getting ready to perform at Minnesota's Mall of America when she was struck by an "excruciating pain" in her stomach.

She later reassured fans that she was doing much better and, embracing her "show must go on" mentality, still took to the stage for her Black Friday performance.
