A woman has told how she started feeling "lightning-like" pains in her legs and was shocked to learn her spine was fusing together due to a rare condition.
Kate Liberty, 24, from Llantrisant, visited her doctor when the pains started occurring each day and after it was found she had raised levels of inflammation, she went for scans at the Royal Glamorgan Hospital.
It was then that she was given the news that she had a form of arthritis called ankylosing spondylitis, reported WalesOnline.
