PMR with normal labs and having severe thigh pain

I have been off of prednisone for two years and I regularly experience some moderate pain in both thighs and my butt in the early morning -- sometimes waking up around 3:00am and feeling it. Movement helps it go away, but it has been a consistent experience for me with normal labs.

This gives me hope as I am now on 3 mg prednisone, changing by 1 mg per month, and have started having some pain in thighs and butt, waking up at same time as you. I think I can live with this and hope that nothing gets worst as I continue to lower my dose. I do not like the side effects of the prednisone on my skin and bones. (Basically I resent getting older and having to deal with things. But also happy I am getting older).
