I have suffered with Sciatica for most of my life. In fact I have a medical discharge from the USAF because of it. The A.F. took lots of x-rays and I was even in the hospital at Kelly AFB but since MRI was a thing of the future no one was able to give me a root cause of the problem.
Since the pain only seemed to flare up a week or two every few years; was isolated to my right hip and bearable; you learn to live with it.
You learn not to wear a wallet in your back pocket and get out to walk around for a few minutes on long trips in the car.
Then about two weeks ago something let loose.
A sharp pain went down my right leg. My right foot has felt cold and a sensation of pins and needles last till today.
The only relief I get is laying down; while walking and moving around is not so bad sitting is another thing all together. I can wake up in the morning and feel great but just in the time of getting dresses and sitting on the edge of the bed makes my hip and leg start to hurt.
But hopefully tomorrow (Monday) we can find out the cause and cure as I am headed to the doctors office to get a MRI done of my lower back.
Need to find the cure and quick as my DOT physical is due next month. If I can not pass my physical at that time my CDL will become null and void under the new rules.
Kind of a oversight in the new rule. You get sick or hurt at just the right time; and even though you get better and can now pass the physical it does you no good because the state has done made your CDL worthless.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
