She has had years of dexamethasone injections for her voice and although it is a local injection, it goes systemic. This can cause osteoporosis among other bone related side effects. She has hip, knee, ankle, foot, and wrist pain/problems. She has significant hearing loss (hence the constant fooling around with her monitor volume.) She is plagued by sinus and upper respiratory symptoms which at times affect her equalibrium. Both of her parents had open heart surgery and heart disease runs in her family, so it's reasonable to assume that Stevie has some form of this. Beta blockers cause swelling of the hands and feet. She pushes through her ailments to give the people what they pay for. Class act in my book.
