Ouch

ANG_BACK_1-L2We went out to ride Sugar and Morgunn in our back this morning.  It was cold and windy.  Sugar was lying down with her head up.  I petted her for awhile and then bent over to put her halter on.

I felt a twinge in the lower, left part of my back close to the top of my hip.  I was careful from that point on and it didn’t bother me while we were riding.  Both horses did pretty well.

However, after going inside and taking a shower it has progressively stiffened up and is painful to the touch.  I have had far worse strains in my lower back, but this is painful enough for me to be careful I don’t make it worse.

I’m sitting here now writing this with a heating pad on my lower back.

Ah, the joys of getting older.

Hey, I got a bum knee right now and my neuroma in my foot is flaring. Are you saying I'm old. LOL.

Get better Dan.

Painful to the touch? You should be on the guard for perhaps a fracture... probably not, but be watchful. mark

Sorry, Dan. That really stinks. Take it easy. We don't expect you better until Monday morning when the trees get here. ;)

Kidding, folks.

My back always gets sore when I don't ride for a while. The more you ride at a walk, the better your back will loosen up.

Feel better,
