3 Weeks Today

[Rockrose]

Since my riding accident and I still have swelling on my lower spine and painful ribs.
How long do I leave it before going back to the Gp?
Thanks

Is it getting better?

[Rockrose]

Well in the fact that I no longer hurt when breathing, but turning in bed bending down lifting etc is still painful, also the swelling feels as big as ever

[woofgang]

Ok so still painful but is it still as painful? Not to cheer you down or anything but years ago I bumped down a flight of 4 steps on my coccyx and it took months for the pain to go entirely

[Rockrose]

Lol thanks woof I just feel that I’m living on a diet of painkillers

[ummmm]

Same as Woof, when I hurt my back (I think I sent you the pics) it took months to heal properly. The pain was gone way before the lump went down.

[Rockrose]

So in other words be patient!!
I think at this rate it will be August before I ride again!!

[ummmm]

Yes, I'm afraid. Go back to the GP if it gets any worse.

We're not getting any younger :-(

We don't bounce any more when we fall off do we Rockrose? :-((

If it is your coccyx - takes a very long time to heal.

Hurt my back/coccyx area a couple of weeks ago, still painful this post has really cheered me up!

Just as well I'm not on court with Serena this afternoon.
