When my back went picking up my daughter, I didn't know it was a sign of a sinister condition. Days later doctors feared I would never walk again. Six years on I still need crutches and have bladder issues. Never dismiss these symptoms as 'just' a bad back

A person's back injury led to a severe condition causing doctors to fear they would never walk again. Six years later, they still require crutches and experience bladder issues, warning against dismissing similar symptoms as minor back problems.
