Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / June 2005OT Lesson to the wise
I have not been to a horse riding lesson in 6 months due to one thing and another..being sick, Grant being sick, instructor doing shows, my trip...etc. Well. I was sooooo stupid. Thinking "oh, it wasn't that bad when I started taking lessons. I was never overly sore." Ahem. Waaaay different not being in shape and *beginning* horse riding and going in and *working* for an hour after not having done leg work (boy am I stupid) well. ow. ow. ow. ow. ow. I mean, I was sore by the time I got home. I wonder if I can get the girls to lie on my adductors and purr. > I have not been to a horse riding lesson in 6 months due to one > thing and another..being sick, Grant being sick, instructor doing [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > was sore by the time I got home.

Vitamin I (Ibuprofin) is your friend, as are bananas (potassium) and whatever form of protein you like best. Also, if you can manage it, stretch the muscles a bit and even try to use them a bit. It helps, honest.

Very happy at that. >> I have not been to a horse riding lesson in 6 months due to one >> thing and another..being sick, Grant being sick, instructor doing [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > stretch the muscles a bit and even try to use them a bit. It helps, > honest. Ibuprofin has been shown in studies to cause more problems (risk of stroke, etc.) with women in later life than just taking plain aspirin. Just my 2 cents (as an older woman). Jill (who never takes Ibuprofin) >>> I have not been to a horse riding lesson in 6 months due to one >>> thing and another..being sick, Grant being sick, instructor doing [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > > Jill (who never takes Ibuprofin) I'm an aspirin gal for regular headaches. For muscle aches though, it just doesn't seem to cut it. Since I rarely take it (and can't figure out why anyone would take it for a headache as it does not do anything for those) I think I'm probably OK. >>>> I have not been to a horse riding lesson in 6 months due to one >>>> thing and another..being sick, Grant being sick, instructor doing [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] > figure out why anyone would take it for a headache as it does not do > anything for those) I think I'm probably OK. I take aspirin twice a day for the arthritis in my hands. It does the job. I'm fortunate about headaches; I very rarely get one unless I have a sinus infection or the very rare migraine (which nothing but sleep and quiet helps anyway). For severe pain, there's nothing like BC Powder (I think it's a Southern U.S. thing) to knock it right out.

For severe pain, there's nothing like BC Powder (I think it's a >Southern U.S. thing) to knock it right out. I've taken aspirin since I was a small child. You know those little plastic purses that little girls have? Mine always had a bottle of aspirin in it. I got headaches. I think I was 10 years old when my mother explained to me that this wasn't normal. Not everybody got headaches! Imagine. Long story deleted - I finally got the migraines treated properly after suffereing for 27 years, and most of them are gone. But the headaches remain. I take ibuprofen for sinus headaches, or any pain caused by inflammation. I take naproxen for the migraines that break through my regular treatment (and yes, I know not to take them together!). I take tylenol for The Weekend Headaches. So far we don't know what causes them, but tylenol helps with the pain. I take aspirin, one every other day, just because I'm over 40. Recommended by my endocrinologist. Better living through chemistry.

Tylenol's good for headaches, but for muscle aches and arthritis, Ibuprofin is *it*. I have arthritis in my knees and lead a pretty active lifestyle, so I take Ibuprofin frequently, but I even asked my doc about this and she said it's fine. When I had my wisdom teeth removed, the vicodin didn't help; neither did the tylenol with codeine. The only thing that helped was 800mg of Ibuprofin. Basically, if I couldn't take Ibuprofin, I'd be in a world of hurt.

I know that feeling, it hurts. Once upon a time when I was young and not ill, I was asked if I would like to go on a pony-trekking holiday in Wales. At the time I had a horse of my own, so I didn't need the horse riding experience, but I thought the scenery might be nice. We rode all day. The first day my horse was a plodder but after they realised I could ride I got a faster one which I enjoyed and I think the horse did too. Pretty boring for a feisty horse to keep to a trot, probably. All the other people were in absolute agony after the first day. Their poor muscles..they hurt so much. I was lucky because at the time I rode every day.
