- I've been having alot of trouble with my left thumb. It is quite painful
- to put pressure on it (such as pushups, or the type of pressure applied
- from Sankyo, Nikyo, and Koteguish). It has forced me to stop practicing
- and I find this quite irrirating, to say the least. Has anybody else
- had this sort of problem, and what can I do about it, beside lay off
- for a little while.
