I'm a nurse and I used to work in Orthopedics many years ago, so as soon as
I saw 'psiatic hell' above......I just had to say something.....
One gets SCIATICA, not psiatica......of course psiatica might either be a
prescient attack or a psychotic episode that occurs in the nerve that runs
down the buttock and lateral side of the leg! But I've never heard of that.
And, young man, if that 'freeze' keeps happening and you KNOW it, why go
through the trouble of plugging the computer into an outlet that you can't
reach? I mean 'come on'!
Hope this helps!
