I have had terrible back pain after being thrown from a horse?

Question:

During a routine lesson on a new horse about a month ago, the horse spooked and bucked me off. I landed on my back and neck and have had terrible pain since then. I have gone to the doctor and had x-rays but there was nothing conclusive. I am sick of taking tylenol does anyone know how else I can figure out what is causing the pain and how I can deal with it?

Answers:
I would suggest you go to a chiropractor. Unfortunatley western medicine will only give you high doses of medication to deal with the pain. I was in a car accident several years ago and had horrible back pain - went to the doctor and they took x-rays but couldn't diagnose me and put me on advil and vicodin - never got better. My pain continually got worse to the point where I couldn't sit or stand or walk for more than 15mins w/out being in horrible pain. I finally went to the chiropractor and I am a million times better. My back will always be sensitive but it never hurts the way it used to and I can walk, sit and stand normally. I go to the chiropractor every other week and swear by it. You should try it out - you have nothing left to lose.

Get a different doctor and get an answer.

Go the the website below to educate yourself on back pain. Then get different doctor. Tell them you have been in serious pain for a month. This is long enough to suffer. Demand better care.
