Ive been struggling for a bit now with hip pain, so finally made the trip to doctors. Had an xray and its hip arthritis, not bad enough to warrant a new one, but they will give me some stronger pain relief. I'm just finding that riding really aggravates it. I'm having physio tomorrow , so will see how that goes.
I ride a full ID mare, I'm assuming that as she's quite wide and I've lost some mobility in my hip that's aggravating it ? Getting on and off are the worst bits, but she's an absolute star for me and doesnt mind when I accidently kick her bum.
Is it fair to say that my balance could be affected by the loss of mobility in that hip, hence why I fell off jumping last year ( looking for excuses maybe ?)
Just after some tips really as how everyone copes with it , any exercises to do and if its a case of ' just stop moaning and get on with it' I do not want to stop riding, but the pain on a day to day is awful. Im not exactly old either ( still in my 40's..just)
Thank you !
