That sounds really painful. And it is a huge health issue. People can actually die from that. And historically a lot of people went crazy and died because there was no treatment or surgery...
Glad you are getting it taken care of and you will be back on the mend.
Have a nice day from me and puppy dog and hopefully this picture will put a smile on your face.
And hopefully my puppy dog won't play the knockdown game with your glass of wine.
