I've had dry needling twice and it helped.

I went to my physio on Friday (not the myo) and he agreed that it's nerve pain, likely from lower back impingement.

I'm back into the nerve glide movements and stretching.

Edited by ActionDan

Brief update, after a very busy weekend my leg nerve/hammy was really giving me grief last night, really twinging hard everytime I got up/moved around.

Had a really good stretch and did some nerve glide exercises (feet pointing and head tilting to move nerves through the sheath) which helped a biut but it's still unhappy today.

Pretty confident it's coming from my lower back too.

My guess is you have hurt your back (lower spine) or it may be piriformis sydrome, this can occur 'without' the knot in the muscle. The sciatic nerve is responsible for what you have either way and it's being messed with.

I'll keep working on it, you just keep sloggin away til you find the root cause then change whatever you need to to avoid it. We've all had enough injuries to know how this goes.

Just annoyed that there was no "clear" cause or instant where I can think of. May just be poor technique squatting or bad mechanics in my pelvis from bad rom in various joints.

surely you can get scans or whatever to find out 100%

i am all through pushing past a ningaling injury, but if that is not what it is then you need to sort it asap dude

I'll make that call soon.

It probably sounds worse than it is, it's a nerve pain in the lower hammy area, above the knee that comes and goes with movement.

Physio has just given me new exercises specifically for nerve issues, glides, leg raises, etc so we'll see if that helps or aggravates it.

I'm convinced my leg issue is actually a lower back issue, like right down low above my butt crack.

I've been paying close attention while doing the work the Physio asked for and I'm really noticing some tightness and discomfort in there.

IF I have no success there, I'll see a podiatrist and have a proper gait analysis done to check out my mechanics.

I've never had back or pelvis issues in my life until busting my leg.

But to be fair, I'd never done squats or DLs either, only ever running and lunges.

Back, no immediate relief.

She took xrays to examine and said I had a functional leg length difference (only notable when not standing/loaded up) which implies soft tissue discrepancies - no surprises there. Also my pelvis is tilted forward, putting pressure on the lower disc(s) which she feels may be impinging the nerve, she also showed me that the second lower disc when looking from the front is not sitting even, so there are other imbalances in my pelvis. Also noted that my bad foot wants to rotate outwards and roll inwards, which could be a cause or a symptom of pelvis issues.

She made some "adjustments" on some special contraption of a table but I didn't feel much going on. The table raises up in sections then she pushes down and the table drops down and resets.

Keep stretching, keep walking, jogging if I want and can tolerate, no weights for now (as in squats/DL), do light core work, planking etc.

Going back in a week to see if there's any difference, if not she concurred with my plan of attack of seeing a podiatrist next.

I don't follow the first part?

I've had a full week off gym as of today, done nothing since that last session.

I didn't make 8 last time so I'll see if I can at least get 8-9.

After that though?

I'm in two minds now, have lost a lot of momentum and interest in gym in general not being able to do squats/DLs and trying not to do anything that upsets my back/leg.

So I'll see how I go tonight with the bench, if I can get 8-9 continuous then good, but after that I might drop back to a weight where I can get out 3x8s and settle on that.

That said, if I was "going for it" tonight, regardless of if I do or don't make 8+ continuous reps, would the total reps normally go up?

That is, when you were doing it, did you just keep adding reps to the total until you started seeing improvements in the continuous phase or were you just adding more and more weight every time.

To keep it simple Dan. Pick what you 'want' to do for Bench for tonight. You might do what you used to do , you might try something else.. But, pick something you 'want'. You can challenge yourself if you 'want' or you can make it comfortable. You choose this time for yourself.

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
