Here is some poor x-rays to look at. I have ordered the CT scans and will probably get them this evening, and probably post some of it after downsizing some of it for inet usage.



There are a lot of good ideas and tips here, some more relevant than others, and again some are unusable as I don't understand all abbreviations and the english used.

Regarding neural tension:
- Neural radiating diffuse pain after prolonged sitting and stressful days. Somedays even a little burning pain in the skin over m. tib. ant. on left leg (not the leg with most paresis).
- Slump test; gives no pain, but neural tension. Hamstring tension is a little variable - (Straight legs then fingers to floor distance is 10 - 20 cm). Sitting like doing slump test ("potato-bag" - thoracic flexion) and then flexing neck gives discomfort in upper cervical, and at about Th5-6 and also a little pain about L3-4.
- Paravertebral muscles in thoracic spine (also cervicothoracic junction) are frequently tensioned with a numb feeling in the skin (during stressful days and in running on higher speeds) mobilisation is then useful.

Regarding Coccyx:
- After a more thorough/detailed palpation of the coccyx I find the following: Seems to be aligned equally from the tuber ischii. But: The ligaments on the right side of the coccyx are by far more firm than on the left side. After palpating some minutes the local pain disappear in the sacrotuberous lig., but applying pressure to the tip of coccyx is still painful. Could the sacrotuberous lig. be sprained? .. what about injections, could this be helpful? prolotherapy? ..
- Aletta; could you explain how to release the m. obturatorius internus? ... and also "john barnes" technique in brief?

Regarding muscle length of erector spina:
- Can not find any special signs of differences between the sides.
- But; quadratus lumborum is constantly under tension. And trying to let go of the quadratus (sitting on one tuber ischii, then lowering the other) on the left side gives immediate pain deep in the muscle (QL), but seems to be referred from the spine (low L5-S1..). Trying the same on the right side does not elicit pain.

Gotta go..
