Ouchh! Painful Lower Spine

3393 Views 11 Replies 10 Participants Last post by  xxBarry Godden,

Some of you may have read my post about my pony's bouncy canter. I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it but ...
The lower part of my spine and coccyx is unbelievably painful.
I don't know when I can ride again and if it will just make it worse.
It started hurting a few days ago and it's just got worse. I'm up and doing everything as normal (except riding) but even the tiniest movements send spasms up my spine. It's so annoying and it must be riding. Has anyone got any ideas as to what caused it? Or has anyone had similar problems?
Thanks x

Around the base of your spine run several key nerves. If you have severe spasms of pain, then you have done something to it - who knows what.
The sacrum is one of the strongest segments of the spine but it is also an area
open to abuse by horse riding. It is not supposed to hurt.

This is one of the Forum questions where you are asking the wrong people - go and see a doctor.
