Bench was going great tonight; best weights I've pressed in weeks and all nice and low to the chest. Last set was 2 reps of 107.5kg. No shoulder pains. Then did close grip lat pulldown. Still all good. Then warm up on 60kg incline press and...f**k...my shoulder cracked the shits. Felt like I dislocated it or something. Couldn't even finish the set. Now can't move arm in certain ways (specifically above my neck and across my body) without it hurting.

Gonna book for scans tomorrow; looks like I'm deadlifting and squatting indefinitely.

That sucks.

Is it a pinching type of pain? Does it 'pop' when you move it high or across?

Yes it's pinching and if I can stand the pain of moving my arm high it does pop eventually. Can't even take my farkin T shirts off, it's ridiculous. Still can't believe a 60kg incline press did this...

Doc pressed on a few places and seems to think inflammation of the supraspinatus/bursa; prescribed anti-inflams. I reckon it's a tear/rupture though, so I insisted on an ultrasound referral. See what the imaging reveals I guess.

Sucks :(

Hopefully ultrasound will give you more information and you can get it sorted.

but your life isn't that bad

should of insisted on an MRI referral.

Ultra sound will only show youve got an injury/fluid.

MRI will actually show length, extent of injury etc.

MRI will also set him back a shitload of money. Prior to healthcare reimbursements (which won't be much anyway), the MRI my mate got on his knee not too long ago here in ACT cost somewhere just over $500.

$500 is not a shitload of money when it comes to your health.

Most people wouldn't think twice about spending $500 on their car.....your body is with you for the rest of your life

Oh I'm not saying it isn't worth it; merely saying that perhaps jumping straight to an MRI isn't necessarily the way to do it. I'd go with the ultrasound first up as it's probably close enough to free for there to be no real reason NOT to bother, and then depending on the results of the ultrasound you could push for the MRI.

With the shoulder it could be anything but it sounds similar to my injury which is bicep tendinitis - basically the tendon that runs from the bicep to the shoulder is enflamed and pinches and pops as it passes through the hole(?) causing the pain.

Physio, Voltaren, stretching and no chest work for 4-6 weeks cured it for me but then it came back again. And no overhead presses of any sort!

Good luck with whatever it is :)

    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2  
    • Thank you so much for the help
    • Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
