Ronan Keating's wife Storm rushed to hospital for emergency surgery

Ronan Keating’s wife Storm Keating has opened up abut the most ‘terrifying week of her life’ in which she was rushed to hospital with a prolapsed disk.

The starlet, 39, was quickly rushed into emergency surgery after being diagnosed with caudal equine syndrome.

The condition is a serious type of spinal stenosis which can result in a loss of sensation due to compressed nerve endings and incontinence.

Even more worryingly, the condition can also lead to paralysis if not immediately treated.

Keen to tell her story in a bid to help others, Storm took to Instagram to tell her story.

The mum-of-two wrote: “It’s been a long and trialling week, the most frightening week of my life.

“But I feel so utterly grateful to Dr Syed Aftab and all the amazing specialists, doctors, nurses, physiotherapists and aids at #CromwellHospital who have assisted me through this.

“On Saturday I was rushed in with what we already knew was a very bad prolapsed disc, which had more recently escalated to the point where it needed surgical intervention.”

Horrifyingly, while she was stabilising in hospital her doctors discovered she needed surgery to stop any permanent damage.

Stressing the seriousness of the situation, Storm has told fans how if it hadn’t been for the medics around her she wouldn’t have been walking out of the hospital.

She added: “I would not be walking out of this hospital with the prospects of leading the normal life I had always envisioned I would.

“There are no words that will ever come close to describing my gratitude.”

The star signed off the post: “I hope that by sharing my story, it’s a small reminder for everyone to take care of your back.

“Many of us take our spine for granted and often our health too… but sometimes the unexpected can throw a real curve ball if you’re not paying attention or if you’re ignoring your body.

“I’m very lucky but I wouldn’t wish what I’ve been through on anyone. We share our highs on Insta but sometimes it’s good to share our lows too. This has been one of mine.”

Storm and Ronan diet the knot during a Scottish wedding in 2015 – three years after first meeting.

In 2016 they announced they were expecting their first child together.
