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

      Yeah, I don't believe the M35 uses a deadhead system.

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      Have you done your thinking backwards? 3 bar, 43.5 psi pressure drop being the presumed specification for an injector, means you need 3 bar upstream when they are firing into atmospheric pressure, and more upstream pressure than that when on boost (you add your boost to your rail pressure to maintain 3 bar across the injector) and you need..... less pressure upstream when you have vacuum in the manifold. So, presuming that you're idling at -10 psi, then you only need ~23 psi in the rail. I realise that I did not need to say all of that to you specifically Matt, once you'd realised your mistake. It's mostly there for complete clarity for others.

      Have you reached out to the guys at Spool Imports? They are a Ross dealer, I can imagine they would have the rings just sitting on the shelf (I could be wrong).

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's one for sale at Grand Auto Wreckers in Lonsdale (SA), for .... let's suggest the sum they're asking for will make you cry. You may have to embrace the idea of modifying the rear subframe to accept some other diff. You could probably find a way to wangle a shortnose into there, with a custom rear adapter and some sort of shenanigans to relocate the front mounts. This has probably already been done by others, so there might be some guidance available as to how easy/impossible it is, out there in the googles. But you possibly needn't restrict yourself to Nissan diffs if you're going to contemplate that. There are similarish Toyota diffs, possibly some Euro ones, possibly some Seppo ones.

      The ball joint taper and arm taper have to match angle and diameter, but just doing the bushes is a much better option.....seems like the industry moved to "it is cheaper to replace the whole arm than take on the labour for changing this bushes", glad the aftermarket supports it
