This episode is brought to you by the Royal Osteoporosis Society. For years, Annette's GP blamed her severe back pain on gardening. It wasn't. She actually had four broken bones in her spine and osteoporosis. Ministers have promised a national rollout of osteoporosis clinics 63 times, but two years on, there's still no plan.
