For those who do not wish to strain at something, like exercise, a Voo Doo doll, made of straw, wax and other household items may be used as an appropriate Devil-surrogate. Try heating a large stick-pin (hat pin or empty old-style Imitrex injection) and probe the doll in the same way that the pain is experienced. The pain *might* be transfered to the doll, along with the evil spirit.
Beware! Use of this method on anyone, other than the devil-pain itself, can lead to un-expected and dire consequences. Do not leave in the reach of children. Dispose of properly. Do not litter....
This should work. I've seen it on TV quite a few times.
