What a pain!

Saturday night as we settled in to begin the second Seder, I noticed a swelling in my left elbow.No pain, Just a swelling.Immediately my thoughts flashed back to last October when I had a similar experience in my right arm.At that time, I was incapacitated for almost 3 weeks,most of it in excruciating pain and discomfort.I was unable to use my keyboard so writing was impossible as were most of my daily functions.The pain was so severe,that I could not sleep or concentrate on even the most menial tasks.It was a horrific couple of weeks.I knew when the swelling flared up again that I was inline for some stormy waters.
I called the doctor's office first thing Monday morning and was able to schedule an appointment for just after noon on Tuesday. Monday afternoon, the familiar discomfort was reappearing and by Monday night,the full blown pain was back.
No excuses,however I am sure that the tree incident on Monday night and my lack of clear headedness due to pain are connected.
It's called bursitis.....it is unbelievably painful, and other than "don't use your arm" there is little to be done other than ride it out. 
Where does it come from? Often it is a trauma related incident. A fall.overuse or being hit by something.In this case,it may be a result of getting into better shape. These joints.my elbows, have been encased in subcutaneous fat for years.Now,with little to no fat layer,constant rubbing and contact with harder surfaces, even the arm of an easy chair, causes a build up of fluids around the joint resulting in a vice like compression ,first around the elbow and then working it's way down my arm to my wrist and fingers.
Getting skinny is so much fun!
People are for ever saying to me"you must feel so much better now that you have lost the weight?"
My response is always the same"......I have stuff that hurts that I didn't even know I owned!"
This is one more example of that.
This too shall pass.....
I am not very good at just doing nothing and quite honestly, I really can't do much.Even writing to you is uncomfortable as well as time consuming.(Hunt and peck with 1 finger on my right hand).
Setbacks? 
They happen.....one more opportunity to get back up and do it again!
