Hello Lisa,

Welcome to this forum!!

Ouch, falling off of a horse can be serious as you now.

I'm glad you are going to your doctor tomorrow. Only wish you had done so the day after your accident. Make sure you doctor takes some x-rays.

Do I assume correctly that you will be going to a GP/PCP doctor? If so, I would highly recommend that you make an appointment to see a spinal surgeon to get his/her advice. Don't delay. Time is important.

I do hope all will be okay.

Hi & Welcome

Hi Lisa, I know you are hurting, just very glad you are going to have this checked out. I too have been thrown from a horse, fallen, slipped on ice, so many horrible things that has injured my back. I have ruptured disc in three places, done something to misalign your spine. Chiropractors DO work miracles, I know they are not popular in a doctors world. I agree with RichT, have xrays performed and also, find a good specialist if its worse case scenerio. Hope all goes well for you!
