I went to A&E after being crushed by my horse and passing out! When being seen by the professional I was told I had a low pain tolerance and it was just soft tissue damage or bruised muscle. The “professional” did not offer x rays or any other scans!
After struggling for a few week I booked in to see my osteopath who discovered I had dislocated, twisted and fractured my second rib as well as fracturing my third rib and shredding the muscle around this. I also damaged my rotator cuff. He explained that as I had been misdiagnosed the recovery would take longer, and potentially lead to it not healing/not healing correctly.
I’m currently 12 weeks on and still struggling for day to day tasks due to my misdiagnosis and not being checked over correctly.
