That's like the story RYBS told of his childhood, which I posted two
weeks ago at <http://www.aishdas.org/avodah/vol28/v28n208.shtml#12>, when
RDR asked about the tza'ar of getting to the Sukkah with his dishes in
food recently after arm surgery.

It seems from R' Moshe Soloveitchik's answer to his son, mitzta'er is
only when the tza'ar is inherent in using the Sukkah, and not in getting
there.

Tir'u baTov!
