I’m at 3 mg, trying to get down 1 mg a month. I’m pretty resolved that I will end up with some pain that maybe is PMR and maybe is just old age in the mornings? But it’s good to hear that we can deal with a little pain, right. Good luck to us all.

The notion that people should be "pain free" if you are on the right dose of Prednisone is a recipe for being on Prednisone forever. Pain is a fact of life and we all need to be able to deal with "some pain."
It used to drive me crazy when people were told to increase their Prednisone dose for "niggles of pain" or even to increase their dose to prevent "tolerable pain" from getting worse. There is a threshold that Prednisone should be increased but I don't think "niggles of pain" and "tolerable pain" meets that threshold.
Just my opinion for what it is worth!
