Sometimes a nuisance, sometimes nearly unbearable.

That's the way it is with me. It either "hurts" or it "hurts worse"

I haven't gotten to that juncture yet. I have an appointment in two

That

grown over the years. *Still brings me to tears when I whack that.


i can imagine. I try to avoid that....

What to do? *Avoid all things that send a shock up your arm, like tennis,
hammering, slapping your puppy, things like that.

i don't have a dog, but hammering on an impact etc is part of the
occupation.

Probably feel better when it quits hurting.
