What sort of thoracic spine injury and how did they diagnose it?

I dont know about you but if I had a spinal injury, I probably wouldnt be going to a chiro because all they do is spinal manips which isnt necessarily going to beneficial. Besides, if you have a good physio they should be able to do everything a chiro can do

Physio and Trigger Point therapist both said it was a thoracic spine facet joint injury.

I wanted to get an ultrasound last week but my GP told me to wait, maybe I should go back this week and just say I want one.

Different people are telling me different things, some people are suggesting chiro and others suggesting physio.

+1 for physio or myo as opposed to Chrio. (For me the Myo I have is head and shoulders above the physio's I've seen, they have the same anatomical understanding but also are fantastic at deep tissue massage and myofascial release techniques that the Physio doesn't go near.


I think a good SPORTS physio/Myo is better again, and there are people around my area who identify distinctly as such.

The (free) physio I see at the hospital for my ankle is always saying how great it's going but she's only thinking from a basic functionality point of view, can I walk and jog pain free for a bit? Yes then you're doing great compared to the last guy I saw who can't walk unassisted.

A decent sports centric therapist realises that you want hih level function, not just basic movement, and works towards that. I'm about to leave my free physio I think and head towards one of the sports specialists for higher level assessment and to work out how to help stop my bad foot rotating outwards and rolling inwards when load is placed on it, which f**ks squatting up badly for me, and also strains my god side as it carries much more of the load.

+1 for myo over chiro. There is one upstairs from work. I've had days where I could barely walk properly from back pain and after 30 mins on the table I'm much better. It hurts like hell while I'm getting wailed on, but afterwards I feel much better

  • 2 weeks later...

Hammy continues to be an issue despite dropping all leg work with the exception of walking for normal daily activities and walking the dog once a night, short walk, 2ks.

I note my lower back on the same side is tight and not moving freely also, similar spot to when I had the SIJ issue.

Is there a chance the hammy is being strained by poor mobility above and below it if that makes sense?

I might go back to the myo and get another hour session and this time not train the day after it thinking it's ace.

I had dry needling done, isn't that the same thing?

It's not quite the same thing; similar principle but trigger point doesn't use needles and allows the therapist to focus on one trigger point at a time. I feel trigger point enables the therapist to get deeper into the muscle fibres.

To me your hamstring sounds like an active trigger point; referring pain either locally or to another location along a nerve pathway.

To me my hamstring sounds like aids =\

Might have to cut it off.

Hahaha awwwww Dan!

If it helps I'm feeling the exact way about my shoulder blade atm

The thought of slicing it open is actually relieving to me lol

However, since my last physio visit on Friday (this physio was a hundred times better) it's actually feeling better than it's ever been. She said she hasn't come across someone so stiff in the thoracic spine before :( She loosened me up and manipulated me. I had an intense migraine for 2 days but feeling a lot better today; just constant cracking.

    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
    • I started removing the tank a while back with the intent to give it a proper clean. Got to a bolt that I couldn't undo completely due to a diff being in the way, so just said f**k it and siphoned the gluggy old fuel out and called it a day. Looking it the tank it looks less corroded than the one in the pics for that billet hanger from Frenchy's anyway. Isn't it the fuel filters job to worry about this stuff? I scraped off most the crusty shit of the hanger but will give it another go before reinstall coz maybe the fuel and return pipes are also full of gunk  
    • Pretty sure it is a common fault. I believe this is the only part you need, but don't quote me as I don't have a V36.  I also believe it is a bit of a pain to change and the device needs to be encoded to the car once it is replaced, so may need someone with the right tools.

    • 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.
