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.

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
