so i have had 3 falls this week! first two, i was fine nice soft landing in the menage
3rd one, out on a hack, landed flat on my back, knocked the wind right out of me. That was yesterday
obviously had to get back on despite the pain as was a good half hour from the yard. we walked home as it was too painful for me to trot.
so my back is aching as i would expect but i have quite bad pain in my ribs (front) on the left hand side...
wondering how this can be as i landed on my back... any experiences?

Your ribs run from the front round to the back maybe you have bruised or worse cracked one of them

Yep agree with this. I think somethings in the air this week. Another one who's been chucked off. Unfortunatley I landed on my head. Ouch.
 
Me too landed on head then got stood on. The older I get the more it hurt!
Agree with rib thing. Having damaged the tissue around front ribs through breaks etc, I find when my back ribs get strained or whalloped the front ones hurt & vice versa.
It could just be your front muscles tightened when you got winded. But best get checked.
Gentle hugs to all fallers.(())
 
I put my back out Boxing day skipping out and then Friday it went again filling haynets .. When people ask me how i did it im gona say i was riding ... it sounds so much better, lol :o

Hope you feel better soon x
