A mum-of-three battling stage four cancer could have just months left to live – after doctors told her she was suffering from a trapped nerve. Andrea Fenn first contacted her GP in May 2021 after she began experiencing severe pain in her shoulder and spine.
Despite her concerns, the 52-year-old was told she had frozen shoulder – also known as adhesive capsulitis – a condition that causes stiffness and pain in the shoulder joint.
But, over the course of 2021, Andrea’s condition deteriorated. Although doctors believed the former support worker could also have a trapped nerve, no operation, test or medication could determine the cause of her pain.
