Ugh, I'm sorry, Ellen. I know what you mean about not wanting to talk about it when others point it out. What a pain in the leg! :(

I think you are around the same age as me,... maybe? Just the other day I hurt my back in my sleep and I pulled something in my side today at yoga, thinking if I keep going that my back will feel better. It's no wonder why people older than me always talk about their ailments.
