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

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.

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

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?

      Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
