A football-mad dad who thought he was tripping up due to a "trapped nerve" was left "devastated" after discovering it was a symptom of a degenerative condition.
Chris Thurston, 42, used to run half marathons and play the game he loves, but after he started losing his balance in 2017, he was stopped in his tracks.
The dad of two from Wirral, Merseyside, believed it was just a trapped nerve when he would trip on his left leg, Liverpool Echo reports.
