I hurt my back somehow, perhaps installing the connections behind a 
pedestal sink in too-little space. Bed rest, Ibuprofen and Ben Gay patches 
finally ended that misery but the morning the back pain disappeared, 
sciatica took its place. I hang from my chin-up bar to stretch the back on 
the theory that opening the spaces between the vertebra will relieve the 
pressure on the nerve. I also do the exercise where you lie on your back 
and pull knees toward you. But so far, ten days now, only acetaminophen and 
Ibuprofen keep me operable. Does anyone have suggestions that have worked 
for them?
