Hey guys,

Now that I've started exercising properly again my wrist (fractured+plate due to being hit by a car on my motorcycle years ago) has started getting irritated, to the point where days after exercising my whole arm will be aching.

It's been hurting more often just in general so I'm thinking it would be a good idea to get it consistently looked after.

Can anyone recommend a good physio in this area?

Chuuurs.

Marginally off-thread JEPPE, I wouldn't discount an acupuncturist who's a member of the AAA. Such practitioners are consulted by football teams to shorten recovery time.

So if the physio has given you limited improvement,......

its hard to find a physio that doesnt do the token treatment these days. They will do a little bit of assessment, rub it a bit, use an ultrasound on it and then TENS machine with either hot or cold.

If you can find someone that doesnt just go through the motions and do that then youll be better off. Unfortunently I cant recommend anyway in your area as im from canberra...

How about an Osteo?

I have a very good one just near me. They aren't just for backs etc :)

I found better improvements there than going to the local physio - who has all sorts of sporting team accolades from Olympic teams etc.

You can buy your own TENS machine these days for not that much $$. Add in some research on exercises and the physio service doesnt really cut the mustard.

Id suggest you try Terrys suggestion & give accupuncture a go. You may very well find it extremely helpful.

Hey, I'm after an Osteo (I reckon a bad osteo is better than most physio or chiro's)..

Send me the details!!

Kathy at Good Sport Physio in Deakin is awesome, she doesn't just do the typical stuff...

As for acupuncture, some physios are also doing dry needling now, if you can find a physio that does that (similar to acupuncture) than that is a good idea, a lot of physios are trained in more than one modality these days so if you can find one like that than I would give them a go...

Thanks everyone. Ash can you plug please?

Will check out Kathy and research some acu, as long as they allow it to be covered by TAC then I'll try anything and everything... at the same time! (not really)

a physio is a good idea. Go there with some requirements ; 1) manage the present injury /soreness. 2) get a set of recovery and strength movements for that arm.

You likely have underlying muscle / tendon weakness from the damage you sustained from the accident. Recovery to 'normal function' so you can do office work etc. doesn't reveal the strength differences between the two arms.

My guess is you are experiencing tendonitis from exceeding what that arm can handle by giving it the same loads and work that your good arm is doing when doing weights. This makes perfect sense.

What you can do is focus on movements for wrist and grip strengthening for that arm, once it's not sore. This will see you right in a few months. The good arm will not be doing anything while you are training the strength back into the bad one. the goal is to have an equal strength in both (bad arm is playing catch up).

So don't do things like bicep curls and other movements that will load the forearm muscles until you have it right.

If there is no permanent damage to tendons in the arm , then there should be a good chance you will be back to normal in no time.

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.

      Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
