Leeds school girl thought horrific neck pain was puberty before rare spine diagnosis

A Leeds school girl thought her side effects of puberty were causing her back pain before she was diagnosed with scoliosis.

Lola Hill, 14, had been complaining that she had neck pain for about six months. She came home from school and said her neck "froze" to the point of making her cry.

Lola put it down to "something girls go through" and her mum suspected it to be bad growing pains. But, as the sharp pains grew worse, her mum Leanne decided to get her checked out before discovering her daughter needed surgery.
