Elite Veteran Posts: 633 Location: Ohio	I have a 20yr old kids horse that started showing lameness 2-3 months ago. We thought maybe he pulled something in his shoulder and it would heal in time. It didn't so we took him to a good vet last Friday. He did pain blocks working from the foot up and determined what we thought, shoulder. He took xrays and nothing was broke or fractured so he injected the joint. We were told stall rest for a week and hand walking/grazing then let him know if he shows improvement or not. Has anyone been through this? what were your experience's? What can I do to help him along?

Elite Veteran Posts: 633 Location: Ohio	We had farrier use testers, nothing showed. Tried a Chiro. Then after 3 months took to vet. He blocked feeling in the foot, horse was still lame. He blocked higher up, still lame. thats how he came to shoulder conclusion. If it was a foot issue wouldn't he have walked fine after the block? Also the injection doesn't seem to have helped him. I don't know what to do at this point.
