I rely on beer, hot peppers and occasional OTC pain relievers.

I about cranked myself in half this spring busting a leaf spring assembly loose (rusted old crap) pushing with one leg and cheater bar on the opposite side.

Rotated my sacroliliac joint (I didn’t know it WAS a joint) and pinched the nerves off to my right leg.

Thought it was sciatica. As my leg increasingly paralyzed and convulsed I was happy to take prescription painkillers- although they only masked what was really going on. An astute physical therapist fixed it in two sessions.

Lesson- $10 worth of bolts vs $500 worth of treatment and $thousands in pain and lost time. The torch is now my best friend on old rusty crap.
