Changing from prednisone to NSAID’s

I do know how lucky my hubby and I are! Last night I was having one of those “ moderate to severe” pain nights 🥲 —in my neck and shoulders and I had to take a whole pain pill ( I usually take only half) plus one Tylenol ES
Rapid release capsule, 500mg. Then had my husband rub some Aspercreme on my neck, shoulders and upper back. Finally got some relief in about an hour—this is pretty much my go to routine with severe pain that works for me.
I’m lucky to have a caring hubby— and I do the same for him as well!❤️😍💕

Your tapering off prednisone seems too fast to me and you might have to resume taking it until the PMR symptoms are gone or tolerable. Also, if your knees or other joints are hurting you may have osteoarthritis too and need Celebrex a better NSAID. Talk to your rheumatologist.
