Hi guys,
I'm having my first physio appointment tomorrow about my back. I've either ruptured a disc or torn a ligament in my lower back It is getting slowly better, but I still can't ride I'm hoping the physio will be the first step in getting me back in the saddle, although I've never had physio before so don't really know what to expect!
Wish me luck!

Good luck!

Make sure you let us know how you get on and remember to shave your legs and wear clean underwear!!

 

[MrsMozartletoe]

Hope it stops hurting and you can start riding soon

Thanks, I'm glad you reminded me about shaving my legs jodie3, they resemble Jasper's at the moment ! lol I will dig out my best Bridget Jones style apple-catcher knickers too!

Hope the treatment is effective and that you are back in the saddle as soon as possible

Thanks! Me too! It's killed me not to ride. My OH has even threatened to hide my tack so I can't! He went round all the staff and liveries and told them that if I was even thinking about getting on a horse they were to forcibly restrain me and call him to take me home!! I felt about 12!

hahah Ive jsut started NHS physio and thought it would be along the lines of a chiropractor always associated them the same and rocked up in the boots trackies straight off the yard, though a clean top and bra - then had to explain why I couldnt take my trackies off due to the lack of underwear as thought I would be there clicked about and told to go, and iv had to go back once week since, oh the cringe.!

Just got back from physio appointment, she says it's definitely muscular and not a disc - hurrah! She's given me some exercises to do and best of all has said that gentle walking on Jasper will be good for it! As long as I stick to just walking round in the ménage and stop the second my back hurts or feels tired I can ride again
It feels very sore now though after all her prodding and poking and movements she was getting me to do to assess it. Off for some more drugs I think!

Glad the news was better than you thought and YAY on the riding being good for the back
Take care and I hope your all better very soon.

For my first appointment, I had a bloke.. so as above, matching underwear and shave lol!

 

[MardyMare]

At least now knowing a bit more about what you are dealing with must help. I bet you cant wait now to get back in the saddle.

Thanks guys, I do feel much mor positive about it now, especially now there are things I can do to help get better. Just felt kind of useless before, painkillers and rest are all very well, but they're very boring! lol
