The remedy for the Indonesian malady of masuk angin is to be "crocked". Having contracted typhus in March, I then was unlucky enough in June to be bitten by a mosquito that gave me "chikungunya." I still have debilitating joint pain - though easing - after 5 months.
Ergo, crocking! I think the idea is to be in so much pain from the scoring that the original problem is forgotten....
