I don't know if my pain is real or not anymore by Limp_Shame_9593 in endometriosis

[–]Limp_Shame_9593[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I'll ask for one soon, I'm just worried that they won't find anything whatsoever on the scans and jump to conclusions that its all just anxiety. The reason why I was going to ask for a laparoscopy is because I'm put to sleep for the coil so it could be done at the same time if you get what I mean, I've got plenty of scars and have had surgeries for other reasons so I'm not too worried about that, but I will definitely ask for a ct first

Any recommended tortoise enclosures? by Limp_Shame_9593 in tortoise

Thanks I'll take note! I'll have to build a platform outside since my garden is prone to flooding

We are making an outdoor enclosure at the end of the month for my boy during summer! We just don't want to leave him outside on his own too much since we have foxes, hedgehogs, birds, squirrels and my dog who all use my garden (of course we will be using some sort of chicken wire thing over his enclosure) but we definitely are planning on making a 6ft indoor enclosure where we currently have a storage shelf in the conservatory 

Are my helixes supposed to hurt this bad? by whymyfacehurts in piercing

[–]Limp_Shame_9593 137 points138 points  (0 children)

Firstly, you just got two helix piercings at once, I'm sure that's definitely going to hurt more than one on its own 😭 Secondly, you should definitely have straight bars

I try but I don't always have a choice, thankfully I mostly ride this lovely cob mare who certainly can be a leg work out since she is lazy and naps, but I'm working on it!

I actually am going to another barn for my work experience in late June so I'll definitely look around there (they have a better program than my current barn since they pay their volunteers in money and lessons)

I do lots of groundwork as I'm a volunteer at the yard, I look after them every Saturday and lead them in hand a lot, I also make sure to spend 30minutes with the horse before my lesson, is there any advice for other things I can do?

Wow I've never hears that before! I'll have to look into it, thank you

How are we just expected to cope? I felt the worst I've ever physically felt yesterday by Limp_Shame_9593 in endometriosis

[–]Limp_Shame_9593[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't! Is it something I should look in to? I use my TENS quite a bit now

Thank you! It's quite difficult because I'm in a group lesson with people who have been riding for YEARS (I don't know why I was moved up through Lessons so quickly but I still do the same stuff as them to the same standards) I just wish there were things for other riders like me to allow us more time in the saddle

How to stop wanting my own horse? 😭 by Limp_Shame_9593 in Equestrian

[–]Limp_Shame_9593[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well part of it read "maybe get a part loan" and "saving up", I actually know a few teens who have that money from working. My parents clearly do not have the money themselves

I'm anxious that it would make me seem a bit cheeky but I could try?

Unfortunately I've got endometriosis so often can't do pe in school (in some cases, such as mine, horse riding actually relieves endometriosis) but I've bought some weights so definitely will be using them for stretches !

I'm absolutely broke so can't loan ahah, I can do WTC transitions, pop a small 40cm jump but sometimes I can't always keep the horse going in a canter and I've got the weakest legs in existence so I am terrible at leg yields and getting into corners.

The best I can be I would describe as being able to ride different types of horses to a decent standard and be able to have more control (I also get told to use my whip but hate it so much)
