Dealing with Pain
This message is from: Sam Sue Banks [EMAIL PROTECTED] Since we are on the subject of pain, I just wanted to say Thank you to the person who posted a few months ago about the book _Pain Free_ by Pete Egoscue. I think it was Lisa Pedersen who mentioned it about helping plantar fasciitis. I have had chronic back pain for many years, and that is why I got my first Fjord - riding the big horses hurt, so I thought I would drive a Fjord when I couldn't ride. After the post about the book and looking at the reviews on Amazon.com, I got the _Pain Free_ book and started on the exercises for the lower back. I was skeptical that it would help as quickly and as well as the customer reviews had said, after all, I had gone to a physical therapist who rides dressage to get a program made for me, which only made me feel worse. I thought Egoscue's theory made sense, though. The lower back exercises were easy to do for someone with back pain (most exercises aren't) and have really helped. After three weeks on that program in June, I started one of his other conditioning programs in another Egoscue book _Health Through Motion_ to address my twisted torso position. My chiropractor is amazed I am now riding 4 times a week (not hard riding yet!) and my body is doing better than ever. My sister and mother were so impressed with my improvement that they have started doing the exercises. My mother had knee pain which has been injected with steroids in the past, and she is so much better that she is buying extra books to hand out to friends. My book is lent out again, too.

Re: Horsin Around contact
This message is from: Jean Gayle [EMAIL PROTECTED] Re pooping in the stalls. My horses also have free access to stalls and only my huge one leaves elephant droppings. One days fills the barrow. He is a pig. The fjord Gunnar and mare Sis never use their stall unless locked in for over two hours. I have noticed in the pasture if I clean up the droppings and pile them in one or two spots, for awhile Gunnar and Sis will poop in those spots. I suspect it is when I put the huge Charlie in the field that he poops where ever he is and gets the others started. So it looks like it may be they like certain spots to poop, and then there is Charlie.

plantar fascitis and pain
This message is from: McInvailles [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi Sue and Tish, Hopefully by now, your bodies are not in as much pain as previously... For acute injured areas: ice for 20 minutes (not too long or it will cause swelling...akin to frostbite) and do this 3 times a day. Gently stretch sore muscles to prevent tightening. Ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil) is more effective for pain relief if taken with Tylenol. They work on different pain pathways and are actually better than either individually. You are right that Ibuprofen can irritate your stomach, so take it with food. It is dose dependent (more mg's more misery likely). You can substitute longer acting non-steroidal such as Aleve (Naprosyn) which last eight to twelve hours and often have less stomach irritation (still take with food). For plantar fascitits, it may help to use a gel pad in your shoes. Avoid walking long distances on uneven ground. It is an overuse injury and often associated with bone spur. It takes a long time to heal...6 weeks to 6 months, depending on severity and how kind you are to yourself. always remember, if things don't seem to be healing, see someone about it. If you are more inclined to herbal/homeopathic remedies, try arnica for an acute injury. Remember, no food for 20 minutes after taking it. No coffee for 24 hrs at least. Hope it is helpful. Nothing beats someone actually taking a look, though. Krissy, north of Mt. Washington in the rain. time to go out to my fjord buddies :) (physician assistant)
