“I’ve suffered with the pain for a long time, but it’s been worse over the past few days. It’s like my body knows I have time off work so it shuts down.
“I think it’s because I’m always on the go and running off adrenaline. But it’s been nice to have a bit of a break, despite the pain.”

The mum of five had been on a mission to lose weight and shed the pounds, but soon found that the stiffness and swelling in her joints left her in too much pain.
She said: “I’ve been out of action because I hurt my back and my hips. So I have arthritis in my hips. Bear with me.
“Trying to do a workout, my hips are killing, so I’m not pushing it …
“I get these shooting pains in my legs like I’m getting an electric shock. And my god it really really hurts.”

She added: “I’m trying to train and my left hip is really really tight in that joint, to the point I have been in tears. Crying. Like in so much….
“Imagine a fly, and you want to pull its wings off, that’s what I want you to do, pull my legs off, that’s the pain I’ve been feeling, it’s been horrendous. Horrendous. I had a massage, and I could not move. So I have literally stayed in bed.”
