Hi, sorry to hear about your injury. It does get better however it does take time. My tibia took 6 months to heal and i still have a lump where the bone has healed. I was back driving 7 weeks post-op and doing my horse (not riding, but poo picking, waters etc) i was hobbling around for months...
Thank you! It’s nice to have some positive stories. I honestly feel like someone has a voodoo doll of me at the moment with the bad luck I’ve had this year! Me and my other half are going to Florida next year, so another incentive to get back on my feet as that is going to be a very active holiday!
Thank you. I was thinking about groundwork when I’m able to, more to keep her mind busy as she thrives from doing things, so I shall have a look at that.
Thank you. I have private health care through work, so I’m starting physio through them. I’m going with someone who has been recommended and helped a fellow rider with a similar injury. Currently I’m on ibuprofen and paracetamol when needed but I’m not taking them as much as I did last week...
Thank you. To be honest, my main concern when it happened was what to do with my horse. It would stress me out more having someone else ride her (she isn’t easy and we have come so far together after our relationship and confidence was ruined by a rubbish instructor). She’s done a lot in the 5...
It’s my left leg but I have a manual, so a bit stuck really! Annoying as it was off the road for 7 weeks as someone drove into the side of it and it was being repaired! This accident happened the day after I got it back! That’s life though I guess. I do have pins and needles in my foot and it...
Thank you. So I don’t have a cast at all, but I have a boot now as of yesterday, it isn’t an air walker boot though.
I do have my Ariat short boots so will stick with them as they are comfortable and worn in.
I’m still having daily blood thinner injections which are just awful and have them...
Hi all,
3 weeks ago, during a fab XC lesson where we were flying, I had an unfortunate fall after a fence when I tried to save myself, landed on my feet, heard a massive crack and after being taken to hospital it was confirmed that I have broken my ankle and tibia. I had surgery 2 days later...
After a disheartening 3 weeks of trying to event and do a hunter trial with my mare, i am having a break from eventing whilst i work on my mindset using NLP and hypnotherapy with this super sponsorship i have just been granted. Time to work on all the negativity, doubt and loss of confidence...
