Rachel Ingram had two litres of urine in her bladder - four times the limit women can usually hold - but one doc simply told her to leave a tap running when she went to the toilet
A mum who was unable to pee for five years and left in agonising pain with a rare condition was told by medics just to "run the tap".
After emptying her bladder, doctors also told the teaching assistant that she was "too young" to have bladder problems and discharged her - only for her to return five hours later still in pain. In May 2015, Rachel had a sacral nerve stimulator implanted - a pacemaker device which controls urination.
"The doctors didn't know what was wrong with me they hadn't seen it before," Rachel said. "I was finally diagnosed with Fowler's syndrome in April 2015 - after going private. Rachel said: "I had been told of that three-year period of different things that could be wrong with me. I was told I might have MS - I was told it might be problems with my spine - I was given all sorts of tests.
