A mother who endured a decade of undiagnosed back pain before a spinal tumour was discovered is determined to walk down the aisle at her wedding this July.
Julie Coleman, 33, first experienced pain in her back and legs during her pregnancy in 2014. Initially told it was sciatica, and that symptoms would likely disappear after giving birth, Julie’s pain persisted. For almost 10 years, she visited her GP, reporting shooting pains in her legs, only to be prescribed painkillers and physiotherapy.
