My arms were pulled so high, I really couldn't speak or make a sound. All I could do was cry and take the pain. The big ball, the tight crotch rope and pulled back hair, the clover clamps and the cold water added to the pain but the arms were the primary reason. After leaving me in that position for a little bit, Martin takes my arms down, ties my elbows together, then attaches my ponytail to my elbows. Now I'm left to manage that.
