I had similar hand problems after a year of PMR, without having taken prednisone.

Mary, Doc put me on Meloxicam on Tuesday for the pain and stiffness in the hand and wrist. Non-steroidal anti inflammatory. Described it as a little mallet as opposed to the big hammer of prednisone. By Thursday no more pain or stiffness. But, is an NSID and have to watch for internal bleeding and no alcohol 🍺.
