General & Family Physician, Dr. Vasudha's Response
Hi, Thanks for the query.I understand your concern. There is possibility of spinal/disc problem due to horse riding.... This can cause nerve compression /irritation...which will not respond to normal pain medicines. Consult a nurophysician for expert advise... Drug like Gabapentine would relieve you... dose &medication needs to be sdvised by an expert after examination &imaging investigation along with physiotherapy. Thanks.
