So an update on my injury. It was getting much better. Could lift my arm out sideways up till it was about level with my shoulder. Then at work yesterday I felt something pop in my shoulder and all the pain was back and I couldn't move move my arm out sideways at all. Went to the hospital after work. Got xrays done (this was the first time getting medical attention on the injury since I crashed, other than the ambos giving me a quick check over). Nothing out of place in the xrays. Then the doctor checked me out and thinks I have a partial tear/separation in the outer of the 2 bicep muscles. So I have to not use my arm for a week (which is hard when you have a job that is somewhat physical)

Did they look at your supraspinatus at all?

Shoulder abduction is its primary movement (specifically the initial part of the movement) so it would seem more logical that it is the issue...

Sounds like biceps femoris to me.

Your common peroneal nerve goes right through that area, its possible for the epineurium of the nerve to adhere to the fascia of the muscle and cause twinging with certain movements. Or it could simply be being compressed by the muscle.

get someone to do some neural tension testing on you like straight leg raises whike biasing certain nerves and see what they come up with.

This...

Not being able to move arm past shoulder height is usually inflammation of supraspinatus...however there's likely an underlying issue that caused that in the first place; probably acromioclavicular issue.

No they didn't. I'm actually thinking it's more deltoid than bicep or suraspinatus, but there is definitely something going on with my bicep as well.

This...

Not being able to move arm past shoulder height is usually inflammation of supraspinatus...however there's likely an underlying issue that caused that in the first place; probably acromioclavicular issue.

My arm movement was slowly increasing. Everyday I was able to move my arm higher than the day before. As it is now I can get my arm to about 45 degrees (after I hurt it again on Saturday it hurt the moment I tried to move it in abduction.

The pain I get when I try to move it was shooting down my arm from my shoulder to my elbow. I'm guessing that's why the doctor was looking at my bicep. Now the pain is more around the outside of my shoulder (which is why I'm thinking deltoid). I was also under the impression that the deltoid was more responsible for lifting the arm through the majority of the arc up to horizontal, other than the initial movement which is the surp.

I do also have a small amount of inflammation and tenderness around the base of my shoulder blade. This was there from the initial crash, and didn't change when I aggravated the injury on Saturday (in fact it may have sped up the recovery). It was causing me all sorts of grief as it was pretty painful to start with which made sleeping uncomfortable as it hurt to lay on my back, either side or stomach.

Did you have your injections Leesh?

I've got a physio appointment today where she's expecting me to run on a treadmill for a while an see how it all looks (gait anaylsis) but I'm in two minds about if I do it given the hammy/lower back.

Speaking off, given I've done no leg work for well over a week now, no walking, nothing. I've even been bending over very carefully (weight on the other leg) and just generally protecting the hammy as much as I can, the twinge is slowly subsiding little by little. When the twinge is gone from every day activity I'll get into some stretching for it and take it from there, this is what I mean when I say reset the area which I think I mentioned once before. Stop ALL activity, wait, stretch, begin build up activities etc.

Takes a while but seems to work.

I also had a fairly uncomfortable myo session including some dry needling that actually made me jump a few times and I never have before so it was fairly tender in there.

Hey Dan

No I just got some anti inflammatory tablets and will wait until after trigger point on Monday then reassess the situation. It's feeling better, still in pain but I can move my arm more freely now; just hurts alot at night time/trying to sleep.

Good luck with your physio appointment.

So hard to give up all form of exercise. Last night I really had to distract myself from the fact I wasn't at the gym (when I think about I get really upset and teary). I know deep down that I am doing the right thing though.

I'm using my foam roller now and bands for stretching and hopefully I can get back into gym in a couple of weeks, fingers crossed!

So after seeing someone else today it's confirmed thoracic spine injury. Now I need help with next course of treatment? Booking chiro tomorrow; is this the only source of treatment I should seek out now? I do have another trigger point booked next week which I will just go to because it's not going to do any harm. Pretty devastated at the moment :(

      I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?

      Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?

      So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!

      Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
