Welcome @hiking2552, I always had a little aching or discomfort when I got up in the morning while tapering and before taking my daily dose. We are each a little different but I kept a daily log and if my pain was above a 1 or 2 level either delayed my taper for a few days or increased half of the previous taper down so as not to go all the way to the previous dose.

Do you keep a daily log or journal?
