Kerry Katona left bed bound and in agony as her ‘body shuts down’ after life changing health diagnosis

KERRY Katona has revealed she has been bed bound and in agony this week after receiving a life-changing diagnosis just days ago.

The 42-year-old previously told how she had arthritis in both hips, as well as a bulging disc and a fractured coccyx – and has now said how she feels like her body is ‘shutting down’.

Writing in her column, mum-of-five Kerry shared: “I’ve had a rare couple of days off work this week, but I’ve been bed bound. I’m in agony with my back and my hips – I have arthritis in my hips.

“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.”

Last week the  Atomic Kitten legend left fans concerned as she struggled to walk on a treadmill, and groaned in pain.

The TV star revealed the stiffness and swelling in her joints had left her in agony, as she exercised in a bid to lose weight.

Kerry said: “So 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 went on: “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.”
