Back Pain, does any one get it. Well these days it seems everyone gets some sort of back pain.

But i'm talking about chronic back pain, everyday, that stops you doing daily tasks.

The reason i ask this is i've had chronic lower back and neck pain since i was 14 (now 21),

and the doc's have not been able to tellme whats wrong, seem's the back is a very touch and go topic.

I've seem so many doc's, specialists, had xrays, mri's etc, and all come up with nothing much.

Slight bit of (excuse the spelling) shiremens, and locking of joints, but nothing that should be giving the

pain i get. i'm talking like stomach aches from the pain to the point i throw up, spend days in bed etc.

its cost me two jobs already and looking like another one. :D

Does anyone know another specialist or helpfull suggestions, or is in the same boat

I can ask my dad about the acupuncter, he is studying it atm and he fixed my cough up.

I will ask whats the cause and whats the end result to fix it.

Acupuncter is like a course, like when you take anti biotics, you take it daily for about a week or two, twice a day.

Let me double check 1st.

Is your work position causing your back pain? Common problem for those working with computers all day and under lots of work pressure.

(The turtle neck syndrome)...

Is your car causing your back pain? Sit up straight and straighten up seat back, so when you reach out your hand your wrist just at your steering wheel. (Apparently this is not a favourite position for the backward caps brigade who loved driving around with seat half reclined, as it's viewed as uncool - but it will help a lot).

Try chinese massage, but you need to find a good one, as some shops may use overseas chinese students that are not even qualified or have learnt any form of natural therapy... I won't be naming those shops. Alternatives are as mentioned, accupuncture. Good one works, I sprained my lower back, unable to move and walk properly, and it's cured. Accupuncture also managed to cured water retention issues that I experienced before. Osteopath, Chiropractor, might help too... and... if you find a professional Japanese Therapy massage, ask them for what is called Sei Tai. It's a form of accu pressure massage, a variation of shiatsu massage. The thing is these things won't sometimes work once, you may need to come back a few times and regularly. It could be expensive depending how much they charge each session, and whether you can claim it back from a Private Health Fund...

i had some back pain - like just a mild movement and id feel it.

Since i went to my chiro, its been fine - no back pain, no migraines, nothing! So maybe a chiro as wel - otherwise physio like others have suggested....

I've got neck, shoulder and lower back problems (the shoulder is the worst part for me) but I've found after 1.5 years of going to the chiro it's so much better. I only go once a month now, but the end of the month I start to feel it again. I'd think a chiro would be the best place to start, as if they can't see anything in a scan a nerve is the likely culprit and that's exactly what chiros target.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
