[RC] Off topic - Cindy RoddHi everyone, I was just wondering if anyone had sustained an injury similar to what I went through, and how their recovery, mainly how their riding went afterwards.Six months ago I came off of a young horse, and suffered a compression fracture to my L2. I was told no riding for 3 months, which I adhered to, and wore a brace, etc.... At the end of 3 months I started riding on a fairly regular basis again, but quite painfully. It grew worse and worse, until I threw in the towel again for one month. I finally got back on again a few days ago, and it reaggravated all of my symptoms that had gone away. Painful tired back, spasms, etc. I have done physical therapy, massages.....heating pad, too much Advil, which I think is not really good for you. Also, I am fairly fit, so I don't think it's lack of muscle tone or anything like that. Oddly, I can work out, it's just riding that sends me over the edge. I'd rather give up working out and be able to ride. Any thoughts, or anyone with a similar injury? Thanks!
