I've managed to out my back out. Mucked out last Wednesday morning all fine, went home to have breakfast and could barely get off the sofa!
It was back to normal by the weekend, but I was still having to muck out everyday, and helped out a friend on Sunday which meant mucking out 5 horses.
Come Monday I flew offshore and it went again when I was carrying my bag from the helicopter (not picking it up, but I swapped hands, so it was obviously a movement rather than weight). It was seriously painful, but I knew getting on with things would make it better.
Has anyone got any tips for helping it get better? I have to muck out everyday (or pay someone else to do it). I already have the long handled fibreglass shavings fork for mucking out. But almost everything to do with horses involves lifting....haynets, tack, feed bags.
My job is mainly office based, but I also do inspections which frequently involve climbing, and scrambling around industrial sites
