Sods law, i have just sent off my BD registration forms and what do you know? Im out of action for prob a month if not longer.

I have had an aching back for ages and i sneezed the other week and felt a rip/tear :S (never a good sign!) Probably stupidly of me i rode last weekend as i had a championship i was desperate to compete in, thinking my back from probably muscular.

Unfortunately i have prolapsed two discs in my back and they are affecting the nerves going down my bad leg. I feel so weak on my feet and can barely walk. Due to work commitments i have gone against doctors orders (for now at least) and am still working, but i cannot work out if i am more comfortable sitting or standing, its both agonising!

Im feeling very sorry for myself as it looks like i wont be able to ride for a while. Funnily enough my back feels looser in the saddle then out of it, but i am living in my pro-lite back support (a gods send!) and on 5mg of diazepam four times a day, 60mg of codeine phosphate four times a day and 500mg naproxen twice a day. Luckily i have someone who can exercie my horse, my lovely yard manager but im going to really miss riding her.

I have done overtime this week so allowed home early today to rest as i have work again at 8am.

Please feel sorry for me, the wrong time of the month for all this. I want to cry. Im not over-reacting...lol

cookies.,....anyone?

Oh and the horse is fine




and fat.


:D
 
I will join you in sympathy. I am pregnant and doctor said I have to stop riding because I've got sciatica. And other muscular pain associated with my swelling belly. So that's it for me for the next 5 months at least :(
At least it's winter. No riding in the cold for a bit.

You really should do what your doctor says and go on the sick or you won't get better though, you will be worse and might end up in hospital.

I have got some marshmallows to toast, you can have some...
 
I feel for you! I finally got back on my boy last week after 11 months out of the saddle wi a broken knee (I did get on a little bit just before the surgery, but wasn't really 'riding') and I miss it so much....

Spend the time reading some dressage books, keeps your brain in the game and you can spend time on all the plans for when you're back on board! I've been doing this, amd revising for my lorry theory test!
