I think you used to be able to. That's why I wondered why I still had it and no one else did.

Tangles I can certainly empathise with living with chronic pain. I've suffer back and neck pain since September 18th 1995 when someone rear ended me doing 80kmhr. It took 6 years to physically recover from that (and another year for the court case to resolve itself) and then I was in another crash in November 2002 (car 3 in a four car collision) where I exacerbated the previous injuries and then add some new ones. 3 months later I was in another four car collision which made things worse again. After a long, slow and (at times) painful rehab program over the next 4 years I was finally back in decent physical shape and management of my pain... And then some lady ran a red light and hit me pushing me over four lanes of traffic and through a fence on the other side of the road. I spent some time in hospital and am once again doing rehab.

The rehab has been extremely helpful in regaining movement, strength and confidence in my body once again. It starts with physio ( twice a week), incorporates hydrotherapy ( 3 times a week) and now I'm doing pilates (3 times a week) that will eventually lead to gym work (3 times a week). I have to be conscientious of my posture in everything that I do and maintain a healthy body weight to minimse the pressue placed on my back. My aim is to get back to indoor soccer - whether this is realistic or not remains to be seen but I believe I will be able to. Again this is about being proactive and doing something about my pain rather than feel imprisioned by it. ATM I take opiates for pain management plus other medication to assist with sleep. My aim is to get off the medication completely as I have in the past.

I feel for you buddy i know what its like. I hit a stobbie pole 4 years ago doing 140 in a gemini. My side hit the pole then went thro a fence of a grave yard and knocked out two grave stones the car was bent in a V shape and took 1 crane and the jaws of life to get me out. Spent 1 week in hospital getting 7 pins and 2 plates in my arm. Then a year later hit a car and fliped my civic doing 80kph which put alot of strain on my arm which sent me back to rehab. I still get the odd pain mainly when the weather changes or big knocks on the arm but fort always helps

Tangles I don't know if you're being facetious above but if you are talking/thinking about suicide and the only thing preventing you is your kids then it sounds like you need some professional help. There are many different forms of medication that can act as mood enhances these days (not just anti-depressants) and therapy from either psychologists and/or psychiatrists. If you have seen them before and think they were useless then see different people (I can give you some contacts if you need them). If chronic pain is the cause of your despair then you can/need talk to people about pain management.

As for how to make yourself feel better there are two things that I feel are important: 1. Do something proactive about your pain (I take pilates classes 3 times a week to help me with chronic back & neck pain and more recently knee, hip & rib pain). 2. Be social. Go see family & friends. Make an effort to contact them if they don't contact you. Try make new friends - half of my social activities these days are with people I've met because of my GTRs.

Depression is too often diagnosed and treated these days for people that are just feeling a little down or low. But the reason for this is that some of these people are heading towards a major depression that often leads to self harm and doctors etc don't want these people to slip through the cracks.

That is good advice..couldnt of said it better myself :P

We all go thru hard times, but try different things to help your situation, does being in a pool help with you legs/knees?

^^ hardly worth e-bashing her for it some of us dont venture that far back or look for old random stuff

haha as R31Nismoid would say "Use the search button" *giggles* :thumbsup:

i think you should be able to see everyones personally

I can see all of yours :rofl:

sorry guysngals, I didnt mean to bring the mood level here down a few rungs.

:( apologies.

hey Madaz, nah mate Im not religious. Im spiritual, but not in the sense of worshiping Gods and their Sons and the like.

Sinful, yeah I find swimming and hydrotherapy fairly beneficial; I just dont do enough of it (time constraints with work & family commitments).

Ive recognized for a long time that this is my big challenge in life, just like others deal with loss, illness, disability, etc so I try to deal with it as best as I can. Hard tho, ie today every step on my right leg is sending rushing waves of pain thru my body. uuugh. Was very tempted to stay at home on my recliner today but that wont get me anywhere in life :laugh:

Ah well, cheer up all !!! Have a great day hey :rofl:

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
