Jodie Cox, has been given a life-changing diagnosis, which has sent her world crashing down following a trip to A&E. During the pandemic the 26-year-old felt pain and a twinge in one side of her back before doctors told her it could be kidney stones and she was sent home with a simple diagnosis of acid reflux.

However, the pain became increasingly worse, meaning salon manager, Jodie, had to make another visit to NHS 24 before being sent home again.

Things deteriorated for Jodie on January 21 last year when she and her boyfriend Luke Watson made an emergency trip to hospital as she was finding it difficult to stand.Recalling the terrifying ordeal Luke, 28, said: “One night she started to lose feeling in her legs so I took her to A&E, she was stumbling into the hospital and I had to support her.
