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

Scotty

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 ^^

      That is way more science than even I would use. I just eyeball it, not even accounting for the non-verticality of the tape measure when held on the lip and the centre at the same time. +/- 2mm is good enough for the girls I go out with.

      So, before putting them in I need to understand the stock ride height. This is how I measured it: First, check the diameter of the wheel's centre cap, it was 52mm. Then put a piece of masking tape approximately across the centre and measure 27mm (half) from at least 3 sides to get a reasonable idea of the centre of the wheel cap. Mark that with a horizontal line as one measuring point. Then, directly above the wheel on the guard, put another piece of masking tape in approximately the centre. Use a string line to find out the point on the guard above the centre of the wheel cap and mark that. Then it is simple, just a tape measure to check the distance from centre of the wheel to the centre of the guard. Final results where  LF: 381mm RF: 379mm LR: 401mm RR: 400mm Pretty even considering they are 120,000klm old factory springs, lets call that 380 front and 400 rear.

      So....knowing that I have a problem with power steering temps on track and another Wakefield day booked in next Friday, I've done the obvious thing They are very reasonably priced at $1650, considering they are a big monotube shock, double height adjustable (don't have to change pre-load to change ride height), one way adjustable damping and standard sized and customisable springs if you want something other than what comes with them. They come with 9kg/mm front and 4.5kg/mm front and I went with that as a starting point because I'll add adjustable sway bars too https://justjap.com/products/bc-racing-coilover-kit-ds-ds-infiniti-q50-v37-14-current#description Unfortunately they didn't come with rear strut tops so I've re-used the factory ones which was a bit of a pain. Also, the adjuster for the rear shock will be an absolute nightmare to get at, and while there are extensions in the kit I can't see any way you can actually attach or use them

      One Headlight isn't working - Driver Side Fuse Keeps blowing

      By Duncan · Posted

      I also had 2 bulbs blow at once, years ago in the stagea. made for a fun drive home. The issue was the voltage regulator had failed in the alternator and it was giving 15+ volts. Really, I was lucky all that was fried were the headlight bulbs. So, I'd suggest you check the voltage across your battery terminals with the car running and warmed up. Yes, you will need a multimeter to do so, sorry.
