Might look to MRI if the ultrasound doesn't tell us much. The ultrasound should be free through Medicare. Think I'll end up like you John...likely ill be able to do bench press again but no overhead movements for a long long time. Might get onto some rev shoulder care exercises when I get movement back.

Anti inflams are helping a bit with the pain. I love and hate my GP; he doesn't seem to like consultations going for longer than 30 seconds, but he always knows how to fix ailments and will prescribe anything you want him to.

Trollga if I could lift my arm I'd sock you in your twisted spine, brother.

$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

I agree with you. I guess for the same reason, people don't get regular check ups and screenings for terminal illnesses - likely they don't feel they're getting tangible return on investment like you get with a car part or the cure of existing ailments. They wanna feel a difference has been made lol

I'm all for yearly blood tests and scans.

Suppose it doesn't help that the worst medical experience of my life (and likely the worst I'll ever have short of death) involved vomiting all over myself while getting an MRI....doesn't really give them a good wrap in my book :P

Haha!

Exactly. I've spent more money on my health in the last couple years than most spend buying/modifying cars.

No exception when it comes to health. Gotta have this body for another 40-50yrs at least I hope.

On a serious note, injuries always make you feel like it's the end of the world/why do I f**king bother etc when they are new.

in a couple of days time, with NSAIDs the pain will dull and it will be some what better.

you'll start over and it'll be fine.

Cheer up lightweight

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.

The damage occured on that first bench press. It takes some time for the inflamation to build on rotator injuries.

Don't worry you will recover. Ice the rotator area regularly and anti-inflamitory pills and arnica cream.

When you are fixed up , get the shoulders tough and you won't look back. At least you can do bro-press with less risk.

For anyone using foam rollers/balls etc.

I'm specifically interested in it for my lower back discomfort/tension is a foam roller or a ball going to be a better option?

There's a bit around to say that foam rolling the lower back is a little risky if you're not supporting yourself properly etc.

Hmm, I have suitable balls at home that should do the job, just not sure if I need the roller.

Given I'm trying to target the Thoracumbular Fascia area specifically. Can't see how a roller would get in there. Pic for ref again.

Also, on my Myo's advice I'm seeing a Podiatrist (well a 3rd year friend of mine) to have a gait analysis done and have the rom of the ankle/foot, leg lengths etc examined as my ankle is definitely different to the other one now and the MYo is convinced my back is a compensatory issue.

For that area I've had good results even with a tennis ball, just moving around until I find the spot then lying there with as much pressure on it as I can bare the pain haha. Works well. Would be intense with a PROPER ball for rolling that doesn't just squish lol

Anyone here joined Fitocracy (on the web or through the app)?

    • Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
    • And now the bloody flapper is jammed slightly open. Lazy as all f**k in 3rd-5th (very hard to convince it to make much boost before you run out of revs), but will make 12 psi in 1st, which shouldb't be possible with a 5 psi spring and controller set to <10 psi. Methinks I'm lucky it jammed where it did, rather than fully closed. It's actually a well weird situation. Careful examination of what's happening in the back of that housing when the gearbox comes out and all the other stuff (injectors, AFM retune) is supposed to be done, next week.
    • The powder coating came in at $250 EACH. The TRX rims got a coat of clearcoat on the outside only.    
    • Bit wet, but YUMMY
    • Keeping in mind that I am currently getting flat 10 L/100km on my RB25DET, which means >>500km/tank. I would test this car for vacuum leaks, check codes and AFM signal with NissDataScan as D says, check plugs, do a compression check while they are out.
