How to use sore in a sentence?
I approach these questions unwillingly, as they are sore subjects, but no cure can be effected without touching upon and handling them.
He’s got a significant bone bruise there, but the X-ray was negative so it’s just real sore. We’ll see how he feels tomorrow, it takes a while for it to bark. He slid, he felt it, but it was sore already. But it’s just like if something’s sore, you hit it again, it hurts again.

Because right now, that monstrosity, as it's known now, is not just an eye sore, it's a heart sore.
And it will fall out as in a complication of diseases, that by applying a remedy to one sore, you will provoke another and that which removes the one ill symptom produces others
