The singer has severe inflammation of the joints, known as synovitis.
Writing on Twitter, Gaga apologised to fans, saying she was "devastated" at having to delay several shows in America and Canada.
"I've been hiding a show injury and chronic pain for sometime now," she wrote. "However, after last night's performance, I could not walk."
