This is nothing to do with cars, but I'd like an outside opinion, especially if you have the same/similar problem... and if you have had anything done to it.

Well a weekend of skiing was trashed in one foul swoop... again my shoulder has dislocated (happens a few times a year) and has left me contemplating the rebuild!

Cheers

well i would say have it operated on if u can tolerate approximately 12 months of pain on-and-off and lots of rehab.

i had my shoulder fixed in June and its still giving me grief now but its healing pain... the actual injury pain i was suffering became non-existant immediately after surgery...

u have 2 b prepared to baby it for ages too, i always think "oh i can do that" then i go to do it and its like ouuuuuuuuuch .. gets kinda frustrating after a while... but yeh im just looking forward to there eventually being no pain.

another thing to bear in mind is that itll never go back to 100%... ive lost 20% useage in my arm/shoulder which is now going to be a permanent disability... but i figure 20% loss is better than the 60% loss i did have...

good luck :sleep:

do it

although sometimes it can be infective tho, as i no a guy who used to have the same thing all the time (shoulder dislocated just by looking at it almost)

he had the surgery, landed wrong playing soccer once, and out it popped again

yeh my science teacher had a problem for quit a few years were her shoulder would dislocate about 5 times a year, she had it reconstructed, but it took just over a year and a bit before she could actually move her shoulder higher than her shoulder hight, she also had many many visits to the physio therapist etc for it, although she said it was worth it in the end

she still doesn't have 100% full movability and comfortability but she says it was way better than having it pop out all the time :sleep:

as she is very involved in diving snorkeling and other water sports she still constantly needs to visit her physio therapist, but yeh do it i reckon :bomb_ie:

Not the same but similar my bf has broken his collar bone. First time it healed average. Last time it has healed disgustingly and less than 6 months later he has just broken it again from the slightest pressure. The public system waiting list was 12 months to a specialist and 18 months to the surgery. He has gone private and has a specialist appointment Monday and shouldn't be long after that he has it plated and pinned. He is prepared for the pain as it will hopefully be the last time. How often does it pop out and can you live with it is the question you should be asking!

I had a heart transplant, and prior to that a Left venticular aid device and 2 pace makers and also a defb also installed prior to heart transplant.

I have been cut down the middle, accross the gut and I have about 10 random scars that are left from insisions made for drain holes for surgery that are twice as big as bullet holes. Also had a staff infection inside my pacemaker site and ventricular thrombosis all from the age of 23 onwards...

Not to mention weekly biopsies taken from my heart from 5 different spots with they place a tool down the left vein in my neck and pull off 5 chunks of heart meat which you feel when they do each one.

Now all that shit hurts and still going!!!

f**k that

Badass fall off my moto. Went into a tree at roughly 80kmh. Kept riding, with one arm since the other one was rooted as I took the blow with my left shoulder. Got to tha lakes servo up past sawyers valley and passed out. Woke up at RPH and later found out i had 4 broken ribs, cracked shoulder blade, tor all the muscle in my shoulder, fractured collarbone and best off all crushed a vertebrae in my spine. Had to wear a back brace for 6 months and also had to learn to walk again, v weird feeling. Its been a year roughly and still havent got all the feeling back in my shoulder and will prob have to do the same thing as you. Shoulder reco. As my shoulder sometimes pops out :wave: Dude i suggest you go for it lol we can go together....you go first kk ^^

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
