Hi everyone,
I have recently had a baby and subsequently been diagnosed with a stage 2 prolapse. I am pretty devastated about what this might mean for my riding and showjumping. I am no pro, but would like to be able to get back to jumping 1m or so. Everything I am reading seems pretty bleak about any high impact sport. I am waiting to see a women's health physio who does seem very knowledgable about sports and prolapse in general, but she doesn't know much about riding.
I'm sure there are many women out there who also have a prolapse (since being diagnosed I have discovered that it is extremely common) and are managing in some shape or form, but it seems to be something that no-one really discusses? I have found just 1 older thread about it.
So basically, this is a plea for any women out there in similar circumstances to give me some hope? How are you managing? Have you had to cut back? I'm praying for some positive stories.
Yours desperately.....
