A few flares that I experienced can be attributed to ‘day before’ activity or diet. Eg I had red meat once and a severe flare followed the next day. Another time, I stood around too long at a concert and legs were unbearable next day. Keep notes. Nothing hurts at the time but 12 hours later- bam!
But we’re all different.

I had a few “worsening” of symptoms after doing some activities , but nothing that didn’t go away with a dose of pain medicine. I would not call these a “flare”.
Any adjustments of your prednisone should really be supervised by your doctor.
Good wishes on your health journey.
