Thats purdy.
I hope you get fixed up on your spine. I know the pain all too well. The docs all told me no surgery as most likely I would end up a lot worst. I'd like to smack the person thought up the line hard work never killed anybody. Ya sometimes you just wish you were dead.
Got the driveshaft and axle shafts in before the storms rolled through. Crazy weather lately.
MRA and Bone Scan should be scheduled tonight or early AM.

Well, i had the Nuke Med injection and bone scan yesterday. All went well, except falling asleep during it and being startled awake. Messed up a small part of one scan. Oops. Results follow up isnt until first week in June. MRA appt on the 24th.
So, the reaults from yesterday's bone scan. Not 100% what it means, but i do have bulged disc at C4-7. Maybe this helps confirm bone inflammation at those vertebrae.
Impression
Focal increased radiotracer activity in the lower cervicalspine and the right AC joint, due to degenerative changes.RAFVCCNarrative
Nuclear medicine limited bone scan with SPECT/CT.INDICATION: Left shoulder pain.The study was performed using 26.2 mCi technetium 99m MDP throughintravenous injection. Images were obtained of the chest and shouldersafter three hours. SPECT/CT images were also obtained using axial, coronaland sagittal projections.There is focal increased radiotracer activity in the left facet joint ofC4-5 and at C5-6 and C6-7, due to degenerative changes.There is mild increased radiotracer activity of the right AC joint. Thereis normal distribution of the radiotracer activity in the left shoulder.

At least you have an idea of whats going on now.
Haven't had the chance to work on the car at all. Some work on the Demon to get it ready for Mopars in the Park next Thursday. 300 mile drive each way. I believe the oil leak is finally fixed. Local car show on Monday, 60 mile round trip for a little shakedown run.
MRA test is tomorrow AM. We will see how that goes.

study well, hope the docs see what the problem is
I think i need something like this for the Charger. Sleeping area and hauler.

Two atmospheres are better than one
You can get old school busses cheap.
There are lots around here for 2500-5000
So, has my follow up with the spinal surgeon today to review the Bone Scan and MRA. HE IS 99% sure it is Thoracic Outlet Syndrome. Pinching of nerves and blood vessels between my collar bone and top rib

good to hear they found something. treatment plan?
Not sure. Have another visit on 19th I think. Then possible referral to Vascular Surgeon.

saw what you had written in another thread about results and plan of attack. non-invasive cure would be a plus.
First plan is to have another appt with the original Neurospine doctor. Likely a referral to vascular surgeon to get his opinion. If it is surgery, then cut out the top rib behind the collar bone and make any repairs that may be needed.
So, I had a little time to work on the car. Brake lines are all tight, adjusters and rear brakes are finished up and filled the rear diff. Had it running for a bit. Ran good. 80 psi for oil.
Hey Matt. That is a guess. Oil psi is all i have at the moment. I need to finish the harness to have everything hooked up. This is a hot wire start. Engine cold, 15/40 oil and 1500-2000 rpm
I had my doctor's appt and now waiting for vascular surgeon to call to set up an appt. Then fixed my brake master cylinders on the Charger, filled with fluid and no leaks. Will bleed them tomorrow when it is a little cooler. Was 90⁰ in the garage. I also picked up the headlight and tailight pigtails and a shift knob last weekend. Headlight plugs are wired in.
So, I read through my MRA test and have a better understanding of what one of my problems is:
FINDINGS:
Vasculature:
Conventional arch anatomy. No abnormality involving the great vessels. The
left subclavian artery lumen is focally narrowed by approximately 50%
(axial MRA reconstruction image 63, series 503 and axial T1 postcontrast
image 66, series 6) as it passes between the scalene muscles without
detectable plaque, thrombus or wall enhancement.
There is also multifocal subclavian venous narrowing at the following
sites:
1. Mild venous narrowing in the retropectoral region.
2. Severe focal venous stenosis in the costoclavicular space between the
clavicle and first rib (axial image 70, series 6).
3. Moderate to severe segmental narrowing at the interscalene triangle.
Soft tissues:
No thoracic apical mass, thyroid abnormality, AP normal adenopathy or other
new thoracic findings.
Osseous structures:
Left shoulder degenerative changes are noted.

And, I need new front calipers for the Charger. I hoped to use the ones on the front end, but they are a Nope. So, with all med stuff, it will have to wait a bit. Oh well, lots of other stuff to do for now.
El Mirage ran yesterday... sure gets the blood running, just rest of the body (especially in this heat) is fighting it.
Well, had some time in the garage. Got the fuel filters in and the adapter for the rack n pinion to switch from hard line to AN -6. Then found I had 10 Aeroquip -6 high pressure lines in a box I had for the last 15 years. Nice the Sweet Mfg pump and resivior were -6 and could use them. Couple more things crossed off the list. Front calipers are ordered. Once in, then bleed, a tank filler neck, and a little wiring is all that should be needed to try and move it.
