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)?

Great little fitness 'social networking' thing I joined a few months ago.

Plenty of fit girls on there also... (and guys, for the girls on here).

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
