In Stellingwarf numen we dit naost et _hekseschot_ ok wel _heksescheut_ of
kotweg een _schot_ in de rogge.
De meest gebrukelike name is liekewel _spit_.
Mit een vrundelijke groet uut Stellingwarf,

    Lumbago is called "Hexenschuss" in German - a shot from a witch, probably
    because of the way it hits you quite suddenly. Are there any other colourful
    Lowlands names for this unwelcome condition?

    Gabriele Kahn

Sometimes known as "The Screws" in some parts of England.  Traditionally any sick
animal or person was sometimes said to be "Elf-shot", but I don't think that
applied to any specific medical condition
