A common injury under the circumstances you describe, and one for which the treatment you're receiving is exactly right. As Deb said, keep off the horse for a while, because those muscles and joints get a real workout on horseback, and they'll take a lot longer to heal if you don't give them a rest.

Take it easy and let it heal properly before getting back up on that horse. Your mom's right on about driving - those meds will probably keep you loopy for a bit lol :) Take care of yourself!
