She added: ‘Spent two days at St Vincent’s [Hospital] however no surgery. The team were remarkable in both Emergency and CCU.’

‘My Orthopaedic Surgeon is confident that over the course of the next six weeks the areas will heal themselves with bed rest, non-weight bearing movements on the left leg hence the use of crutches for any movement.’

Roxy went on to explain she would be taking anti-inflammatory medicines and Clexane injections daily.

Roxy was spotted on Tuesday out and about on crutches, aided by her friend Jessica Ingham.

Soon after she finished speaking, the Sweaty Betty PR founder screamed and fell out of her saddle and onto the muddy ground.

At the time, Roxy believed she wasn’t injured by the fall. 

She wrote in the caption: ‘Don’t worry. I’m fine. Nothing some physio can’t sort.’ 

Roxy told Daily Mail Australia last week that she had a ‘specialist medi massage as I can’t walk properly on the side I fell onto.’ 

She said: ‘My saddle slipped which is why I fell – of course only me whilst doing a live Insta video. It’s extremely painful.’
