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.

    • Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.
    • Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
