Like my spine is really sore. And since I'm at a summer program I can't really go any where for help and I'm scared to put icy-hot on my neck what can I do to help this?

Buxton Fri, 16 Mar 2007 02:59:43 +0000 http://www.balletinfo.com/questions/dont-know-what-to-do/#comment-2853 You definitely need to see a health practitioner, as a dance teacher I recommend a chiropractor. Firstly, he or she will tell if there are misalignments caused by the impact of your accident. Usually this is not expensive, adjustments can be made to your bones, and home care can be advised. Icing is always good. You must tell your mother. Just tell her you had an accident. If needed you will have an x-ray - but it is more likely hurt muscles and misalignments - who knows, I'm only saying that to persuade you to tell your mom and your teacher what has happened. It is not going to "go away" by itself. You did a foolish thing - who hasn't? Take care of it -that's the wise fololw up.

I think it would be a very wise move to approach your mum and explain what you were trying to do and what happened. Explain that you wont be doing anything silly like that again, and you would like her to come with you to see a doctor. Are you still dancing with this injury? If so I hope you have told your teacher that you have hurt your back. Good Luck, and remember we all do silly things, but I hope you have learnt a lesson from this one.

I don't think you'll get a reply from anyone here that will tell you to just ignore what happened. I would also suggest talking to your mother and being honest about what happened would be my first option, but I don't know your mother, of course. If you really don't want to tell her, is there anyway you could go and see a doctor by yourself (I don't know how old you are)? Or just tell her you fell and don't say you were jumping on the barre if you really think sher would freak-out. Though I must admit that most daughters underestimate what their mothers can take without getting really angry and unfair. Only don't expect her to be happy about what you did, but she might think you're punished enough by the experience itself. My mum would've anyway... Val said it all…

You may not weigh anything near three hundred pounds, but the additional momentum (force) from the jump could have matched or surpassed it. Tell your mother. Yes, it was irresponsible, and ignoring injuries could potentially get worse. jumping on a barre wasn’t a wise decision.
