When I worked for Motorola in my younger years one of the old-timers told me: "I'm not worried about what hurts today, I'll worry when I get up and nothing hurts!"

I fully appreciate what he meant now...

Guess It's just payback for all the abuse I've inflicted on myself over the years. I used to be able to sleep without injuring myself, now I can't.

Doesn't sound like anything more than nerve issues from having your elbow at shoulder level. There's not much to do it either clears up on it's own or you stop doing what aggravates it. Third (and worst) option is pain killers. Cortizone may help if it's a joint issue.

Xanthus,

I'm reading more and more articles about the billfold issue. I'm left-handed and carry it in my left hip pocket. My left shoulder also aches after driving the Cobra and my left forearm/wrist pumps up like crazy from using the clutch on the motorcycle. Both issues eased considerably when I quit carrying my wallet that way. Also, the pedals are off-set quite a bit in my SPF - possibly contributing to the issue as well.

Terry

One more question for you.

How big are you?

I'm 5'8" and weight in the 240 range. With my shoulder width I also have a problem in that I'm up tight against the door. Doesn't really hurt, but it's not comfortable either.
