Hello,I fell off my horse for the first time around 5 hours ago and hit my back quite hard on the wooden fencing. I have a bad pain in my lower back and when I get up and walk around I feel dizzy even though Im sure I didnt hit my head. Do you think I should see a doctor or wait a few days? I might just be paranoid but I dont want to leave it if it is something serious. Thank you,Rachel
It looks like that you may have hurt your back very badly. Sometimes even muscular injury can cause pain up to 3 weeks. Are you feeling like worsening than I would recommend you to get an X-ray of your spine? Sometime even such trivial fall can cause vertebral fracture, so ho harm in getting an x-ray. I would also recommend you to take muscle relaxant such as moral, apply local diclofenac gel and take warm shower.
