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 :(

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
