It sounds like you have a grasp of the abstract formal math, but have an aversion to raw remedial arithmetic. In that case I would recommend diagnosing why you have that aversion. Did you take longer on your multiplication tables than you thought was acceptable? Do you feel a similar aversion to grade-school knowledge and practices? Perhaps the teacher was bad/demotivated you? Once you know what the cause is, a solution should be obvious.
I could be wrong, though. Not 100% sure what you meant by, "specific problems with actual numbers."
No, no aversion, although I sometimes feel initially overwhelmed when I see many symbols. I was one of the quickest in the class in elementary school. Didn't like or appreciate math or science in hs even though I was in the advanced group, so part of my problem stems from poor fundamentals.
