A mum said she wakes up and goes to sleep in pain everyday ever since she pulled her back at work.
Care assistant Kate Burton, 27, from Prenton, said her "life's just completely changed" since she visited a physio after pulling her back while at work. Kate, a mum-of-one, had thought she'd "pulled a muscle" or "slipped a disc" when her physio suggested that she might have scoliosis, a rare condition where the spine twists and curves, often causing serious pain in adults.
Kate's physio had soon confirmed she had ideopathic scoliosis, and that her spine twisted and curved in two places, causing the pain and discomfort. The mum told the ECHO she "burst out crying" once she returned to the car after the devastating diagnosis.
