Thank you, It does stink that it is not a bike related fall, yet thankful that it wasn't cause that could mean injury to my sweet ride, that would bum me more to have it hurt too. Anyway, I really appreciate the advice and will take it. I am concerned about the puncture part more then the scar issues. I do have some pain, but don't know what part in there is making me cringe and grind my teeth every so often. Don't know if it is the joint or not.
