occupational therapy, for the other arm

I've been noticing odd pain in my left arm while washing dishes, the last few days, and last night I got out the putty the occupational therapist in New York gave me when she was treating my tennis elbow, several years ago now. I'm finding the exercises easier than I expected, given how it felt when I started on them last time. This could mean I've caught the problem sooner, or it could mean that the pain, a couple of inches away from my elbow, has an unrelated cause.

I started noticing the pain around Oct. 1, restarted the exercises with the putty Oct. 4, and am noting this as something to mention to my doctor if it's still bothering me at the end of next week.
