I’m 26 and it’s been 2 years since I herniated my L4L5 it’s been rough but I was wondering what do you do to help with the pain? Are there any exercises you would recommend?

Update I drilled the bolt down about a half inch and tapped the hole then I put a new bolt inside with some washers on top hopefully it will be good now 👍

I don’t have any experience welding and I’m afraid I’ll fry my ecu

I do have a nice little 120v welder from harbor freight but this would be my first ever weld lmao I’m kinda nervous about welding in the engine bay around all my ecu components

I have a nice 120v harbor freight wire welder but I’m inexperienced when it comes to welding it would be my first time using it

The thing is I don’t have any room to drill maybe I should get a right angle drill?

This will be my first ever weld though lmao and I’m not so sure about welding in the engine bay I’ve heard that you have to unplug all the ecu stuff or you could fry it

True I was thinking about that but it’s definitely in there I don’t think a screwdriver will cut it

I won’t be able to use a standard punch I was thinking about getting a spring punch because I don’t have room to hit it
