Bloomin PSD - back to square one!!!

Previous post on girlie: http://www.horseandhound.co.uk/forums/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/3525543/an/0/page/4#3525543

Following last post, i had a long conversation with vet who basically said because she was sound when she went in for investigation, they couldnt do the nerve block, and without a successful result from that they couldnt resort to surgery. Also said that once the 3 months were up I am to do everything I want to with her, basically not p*ss around trying not to break her, if anything i need her to go lame in a shortish space of time so I am still covered by the insurance.

Well we are 3 and a bit weeks in on the wait and see approach, the ridden exercise is now up to 25 mins a day and there is only one cartrophen jab left to be done. And now she has gone lame

She has been a very good patient on the box rest - until she comes out of the stable and then she EXPLODES bronking on the bloody concrete, hooves flying everywhere and me wincing at every clatter of hoof!! She is fine to hack, its just getting on!! Anyway this morning I lunged her for a couple of minutes in the school to see how she was looking - still not 100% sound in my view (but i think the vet would have passed it tbh) but a lot lot better than before. Anyway grazed her in hand afterwards and the witch had one of her moments, couldnt hang on to her for the life of me and off she took, round the field at break neck speed, bucking and leaping and just generally galloping as fast as she could - yes she looked like she had a bloody good time of it, at this point i could have cried.

Anyway, we went for our exercise tonight and she wasn't right, felt short behind. So lunged (and got an audience as i am paranoid I'm being paranoid with her lameness sometimes!!) and yes she is now more lame than she was in the first place lucky in a way i had something to compare to by looking at her this morning.

So looks like I will be calling the vets AGAIN tomorrow so god knows what they will say. I guess I'm hoping that this means they can now do a nerve block - but I'm stuck if they want her to go in as I have no lift for a couple of weeks, and by then she will probably be sound again oh what a nightmare!!

Also PSD experts, i posted earlier about the vet report mentioning pelvic assymetry - could this have caused the PSD in the first place???
