Sore back?

[vikkiandmonica]

Hi, this isn't directly horse related, although this does occur a lot when I ride (and I know some of you don't really venture out of here).

I seems to constantly have a sore back and shoulders at the minute, especially when I'm riding, though I am in pain throughout the day too. It also hurts a lot more if I am standing up/walking around for a long time, like if I go to help my dad with the weekly shopping, I'm in agony. I don't think I've ever really damaged it by falling off a horse or anything, but I seem to be in a lot of pain. I'm also only 15 years.

Not related, but I also have a problem with my jaw. One side of it clicks whenever I eat, and the other restricts me opening my mouth fully, and hurts really bad when I try, and has been going on for about 6 months. I went to the doctor and dentist, was put on tablets which didn't help, so was given these exercises which also haven't helped. I think I am going back to the dentist soon, but if anyone has any advice, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

O dear sounds like what Im going though at the moment!! My shoulders felt like they were pulled out even though it wasnt. I had a problem in my middle of my back all muscle related endless massages still didnt get it any better. A friend of mine gave me her back person number off I went to see him only to be told that my muscle were all messed up and he asked when was the last time I fell off a year ago he couldnt understand why I was in such a mess.

Anyway he workd on neck and shoulders and my back. He realeasd the big muscle that was hurting so much in my lower back and then explaind that all the tenison in my neck and shoulders was causeing my lower back problem!! I had to go back to him the following week then onto evey other week so far I have felt such a big difference in my back!! My friend had the same problem as you re jaw and it turnd out that it was down to the muscle not right and now can open her mouth nice and wide now!! Her oh is really happy man now!!! Best to go and see a back person. I cant rem extracty what this man does?? Remial massage and something else??

He did crack my neck first time and couldnt get my middle of my back to crack at first due to being so locked up he's only in the last week he mange to crack it.

I was quite shock on how messed up I am as I always get my back done after falling off and was only experting a little bit of work to be done not to be told to come back every other week!!

Sounds like you are hypermobile with those symptoms! (trust me talking from my experience

!)
I would go to the doctor asap about them and he/she can refer you to a physio or specialist if they feel it is needed and they can help a lot

Oh, I didn't think it would need any drastic action like that. Suppose I'll ask my mum to take me to the doctors, and try and sort out both problems at the same time.

Thanks for all your help!
