Spine issue can give that pain for sure.

Hows the rotation and extension of the thorasic spine (upper back)? Do you have mobillity of twisting , extending etc without pain? If thats ok , then I would guess this pain is in motions where the scapular retraction or opening up of the shoulder blades causes a twinge.

Get a tennis ball against the wall and roll it over that sore spot to see if there is muscle tightness.

The shoulder girdle gets pretty beaten up by the worout shedule you have and there is no balancing movements to increase the strength the shoulder girdle . To match the increases in presseing movements. This might not be the issue right now but, consider adding something.

If your scapular retraction is being effected by this pain / weakened, then no more pressing movements for you, till it's better. You can't stabilise the shoulders well, so pressing will start causing issues elsewhere (rotator cuff)

You should be fine to recover pretty quick.

When I went to the physio I had difficulty rotating to my left side (injured side), and I still do now. I don't know what extension of the thorasic spine is so I can't comment on that.

I rolled a tennis ball over the sore spot just then but it did not cause me any pain.

Hopefully Birds can look at adding balancing movements to the workout as he has written the program I'm currently doing.

Like I said, I did my workout last night with no pain except for tricep pushdown.

I can try another physio I guess. I just want to know what muscle is injured!

Use the tennis ball as Rev said, try it on your rhomboid, roll onto it on your side for you lats, laying bodyweight on the ball.

Or, press on your chest from your collar bone ( or use the ball ), working downwards, about an inch from the sternum to see if there is any pain, explore that area. If you find the spot the pain may shoot down that tricep.

Be a strain around the thorasic spine as physio said given rotation showed up the issue. Tennis ball just to the side of the spine on the wall. See if you can find a tender spot.

Push down would cause the twinge due to the stabilisation needed and difference between each arm. One side is usually stronger so more stabilisation is needed to one side to compensate perhaps placing a twisting pressure very slightly.

I think you will be fine in no time

Starting to get into the depression side of things, I can't even do cardio and knowing that I can't do aerobics tonight is killing me.

Looking at getting injection therapy; it's $140 but I just want to get better :(

For your shoulder?

The hardest part of recovery is often the mental aspect, especially for active people, but I've come to peace with it because I know I always come back, usually better than before.

Chin up, you will get it sorted eventually.

It's not my shoulder; to me it's my lat/trapezuis muscle.. maybe a tear?

Swapping to a friends auto tomorrow because driving my car is too painful when I change to second and fourth gear.

Physio says its facet joint/thorasic spine injury, it's nearly a month now, so maybe it is joint which is why I'm looking into injections, probably steroid.

Ahh that's right, well I wouldn't imagine it'd be a quick fix.

Unfortunately these things happen and it takes time to heal, do whatever you can to help it.

Especially frustrating when you don't know exactly what the problem is.

You can still do cardio though? Jog, walk, exercise bike?

Your call, I don't much anything about that so not sure what it will do besides block the pain I assume?

Or is it supposed to fix the problem or at least prove what it is?

Injections are mainly effective as an anti inflammatory but can be used to help make a diagnosis

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
