Thx BDEZ.... Happens 1-2X per year, but for some reason this time was particularly bad and my choices were have an unusable right arm for at least a week or bite the bullet, take some prednisone, and deal with no sleep for a few nights. Because it's nearly impossible to walk the dog & pick up after him with only one arm, I really had no choice but to bite the pred-bullet and deal with no sleep for a few nights.... All good now though...
