A healthy and active beautician has been left paralysed and 'in agony' after a twinge in her back led to a life-changing diagnosis. Jodie Cox, 26, went to A&E in the midst of the Covid pandemic complaining of back pain.
After an examination, doctors reportedly told the salon manager that she could be suffering from kidney stones before sending her home with a straight-forward diagnosis of acid reflux. But soon after, the pain became excruciating and Jodie was forced to return to the hospital where she was 'sent home again'.
In the depths of the UK's third lockdown, on January 21, 2021, Jodie, from Telford, found herself struggling to stand. Along with her boyfriend, Luke Watson, she made another urgent trip to A&E, walking into the hospital for the last time - reports Birmingham Live.
