Shelby Clark was awarded a five-figure settlement from Blackpool Pleasure Beach water park in England after a water jet caused serious injury to her vagina, Daily Mail reports. Clark is now 19, but she was only 14 when she was playing at a series of water jets. One struck her between her legs, causing serious damage and requiring two hours of surgery and 250 stitches.

Clark has since had complications going to the bathroom, and her periods are incredibly painful. Sex with her boyfriend Danny Lendon is also problematic. "Having sex was excruciating at first. Even now, I can't have sex as much as I would like, and so that makes me worry that my boyfriend will lose patience and cheat on me," she told Daily Mail. But she says Lendon has been incredibly supportive so far. Clark is also worried she may not be able to have children.

Clark will soon undergo surgery to remove scar tissue from around her cervix. She says although bringing her case to court was traumatic, she felt she needed to do it. "I had to relive my ordeal, over and over, and discuss my sex life and my periods with gynecologists, solicitors and barristers," she said. "It was very embarrassing but I was determined to see it through."
