Chickabee Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I broke my arm yesterday falling from my horse, who decided to bolt Must say NHS were fantastic. Went to Broomfield hospital in essex. Big thanks to ambulance drivers, paramedic, nurses, doctors, consultants, ordalies,porters and X-ray staff . Anyone out there that does this kind of job, you have my high praise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluekarin Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Ouch! Does hurt a little bit when you break a bone doesn't it Try and take it easy, and as I tell everyone who breaks something, steer clear of fizzy drinks as it can inhibit bone regrowth and take calcium supplement. I am sure this helped my ankle heal quickly when I broke that 8 years ago. At least with a broken arm you can still get about if you want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lavenders_Blue Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Ouchie! It's definitely a long way down from a 17hh horse! Glad it's not put you off riding - if we worried about all the things that could happen to us when riding, none of us would ever get on a horse Hope it mends quickly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
