Detailed is good, thanks.
I only have 2 min. before I gotta go, but I'll write more later.
You are absolutely right about the neural tension - He is facing radiating pain down his left leg when sitting for a long time (30 min++, especially on couch or other soft chair etc). I don't know much about this neural tension thing - But would be glad if someone could brighten me up (post links etc?) - I was wondering about buying "The sensitive nervous system". How could one soften tension-problems like this one then?
One more thing; There was a loose bit of L4 torn into his spinal chord. It was pushed back as good as possible during surgery. I have seen the x-ray pictures from the day of accident, 3 month later and 6 months post-trauma. The dislocated bit of L4 seems to have been "reabsorbed" and at 6 months x-ray postop the L4 is slightly more anterior than L3 and L5. The radiating pain down his feet was most evident 2-4 mths post-trauma, and now only at stressful days sitting more than 30 min.
The coccyx pain seems pretty local as it is palpable in the sacrotuberous lig. and on the coccyx. Wierd thing: Pressing anterior on the coccygeal vertebraes gives no pain. Pressing anterior and inferior (down) gives no pain. Pressing anterior and superior arouses pain. Could this be due to sitting (and then sliding slowly downward - pulling the skin upward?)... The pain is clearly associated with tension to the soft-tissue as I can see it.
By the way; both SI-joints seems non-painfull, have normal joint-play. Pubic-joint too.
I will write more.
(sorry for writing clumsy english and not knowing the english words for all anatomy etc).
