I had 2 herniated discs, L4, L5, they went in from the rear, did a laminectomy for good access and just sliced off the herniations. This was exactly 2 years ago...or was it 3? Oh geez....anyway I was back at work in 2 weeks. Hope yours is that simple. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member 2and3cylinders Posted December 13, 2020 Premium Member Share Posted December 13, 2020 Also L4&5 but slipped laterally and terrible stenosis and dreadful sciatica. I have to mount and dismount the FJ using the side stand, and know it will fail under my girth. Plan is to cut away bone around the nerves (decompression), replace discs with spacers and screw in stabilizing hardware so the joints fuse together. They are debating what to do with my C5&6. May have my right rotator cuff done too but after my experience with the left, I've put it off for 10 years. But I also now have 10 years of scar tissue and it really aches as I type this...then there's my right tennis elbow complicated by a floating bone chip, and soft tissue damage in both hands and wrists...never let your kids or grand kids take up Judo and Aikido...

I do see the fastener points though. Now I'm wondering what else I'm missing? 😐 I’m scratching my head and wondering if it’s possible the under seat area of my bike was EVER that clean 😂 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's because I have a grand total of 653 miles on my bike. Almost 200 of that went on yesterday before the weather took a turn, it's snowing today. 👍 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member micah2074 Posted December 15, 2020 Premium Member Share Posted December 15, 2020 Those guys are pulling your leg. That’s the foreword upper muffler bearing retention strap. You’ll gain 23.67 horsepower with that removed. 1 Let’s go Brandon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporting Member Heli ATP Posted December 15, 2020 Supporting Member Share Posted December 15, 2020 Well that's embarrassing, mine was in the 'tool kit' also. Never even looked inside as I had my own tool kit already set up. So happy I can gain that extra 23.67 horsepower now. 🤭 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
