How stupid am I???

[pottamus]

Just thought I would advise all fellow H&H users NOT to do what I have stupidly done out of sheer stubborness!

I tweaked my lower back at the weekend and it has been hurting...on Sunday I could not pick out my horses feet because my back would not take it, so first thing Monday I booked into my physio to get it sorted (booked for Thurs am).
So I decide this morning to ride as usual, take some painkillers and off we go. It was hurting but what the hey...so what happens...yes you guessed it...he spooks to the side twisting me in the saddle and something makes an awful ping in my back and hurts like hell

Get off at end of hack and I have made a right mess of my back...I lucklily work from home but I can hardly move away from my desk to walk, get up or bend...please do not do this...it hurts and is stupid...the horse would have waited another 2 days to be ridden...I am so cross with myself...it is really going to hurt on Thurs now

Ouch. I think we've all done silly things just so we can get back in the saddle though

Hope Thursday isn't too bad!!!

Been there done that! My back was sore the wk before my wedding...well silly me ignoring the pain went to do some SJing course practice 3 days before my wedding. Landed after a jump and *ping* my back goes, I had to be lifted off Louis as I couldn't move I was in such agony...I was on my back for 3 days in agony and had intensive physio right up to wedding day...!

Ouchies. Hindsight is a wonderful thing, if it is any consolation I would probably have done the same thing and now be sat at home cursing myself as well

Gentle hugs that your back sorts itself.

[slimdizzy]

Oh no! I hope your back feels better soon!

And don't worry, I'd have probably done exactly the same as you!
