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 Posted: 05-18-08 19:42pm
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!
