I KNOW WHAT YOU’RE FEELING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I had a paddle extender for a year. The first 2 or 3 weeks I hated it so much I tried to take it off.
Take an aspirin or relieve. That’s what I took and it eased the pain.
I know it sounds like it’s not true, because I didn’t believe it when people told me, but you get so used to it in your mouth, it’s like it’s not even there.
And the grip starts to be easy to handle. All will be fine.
PS – the best feeling in the world is when you leave! your mouth looks HUGE!
