Kerry Katona has opened up about her recent health struggles that left her "crippled" before receiving a diagnosis. The singer and entertainer said she had been diagnosed with scoliosis - which is a curvature of the spine and has caused her severe pain for several years.
But the Warrington-born star admits that she became fed up with hearing herself complain about the pain she was in before finally seeking medical help, reports The Mirror. It's estimated that around three or four in every 1,000 children are suffering from scoliosis, with the condition being more common in women than it is in men.
Speaking to the Mirror, Kerry said: "I've lived with chronic pain for years, so to actually get a diagnosis and have a plan of action to try and give it treatment – I feel validated and cried because I was in so much pain.
