Many years ago my wife was seeing a spinal rehab doctor. I had taken her there for a check up and I was bent over about like Hunchback from a Sciatic Nerve episode.

He had me sit in a chair, lean over, and he sprayed I'm assuming refrigerant on my back then rubbed the center of my spine briskly. He did it several times in a row then told me to get up. It stopped it then and there. I haven't ran into anyone else who knows how to do it. But I understand it is common practice for trainers to use this in football when someone comes off the field almost unable to move and a few minutes later is back out. I can't remember what they call it but it worked. Other than that for duration of pain I highly recommend using a cane.

Thank you for that advice. I have been using a cane and it helps. Walking also relieves most of the pain
