Oh mate, i sympathise with ya....it sucks!

I have been of since the end of Sept last year, and spend all the time (up to 3 weeks ago) either laid up or walking with crutches!

Don't go to a chiropractor...it didn't help at all!

I was put forward for an urgent MRI via a specialist in Torbay, i then had an urgent spinal block 3 weeks ago. This is where they inject steroids directly into the nerve ball to fool you in thinking there is no pain (it hurt alot!) but, it worked for me. It has pretty varied results with different patients.

This has been the hardest few months of my life mate, no BS there, alright we had a second baby slap bang in the middle of it..... :mrgreen: but i wouldnt wish the back/leg/arse pain on anyone!

How bad is yours??

Engine ordered from TES, should be here end of the week gone for their 1600TP short block with an equivalent W100 cam. This will be paired with 1600TP heads,Twin 36's and autocraft 1:25 ratio rockers :mrgreen:

Just cleaning heads up, replacing manifold studs with longer ones for my new CB Performance manifolds.

Also painted tinware up and fitted 1 horseshoe plate this afternoon, took ages due to brake lines, and bolts not lining up great!
