"Once I started prednisone for the GCA and PMR, the knee problem disappeared almost immediately."

This problem might resurface when your prednisone dose gets lower again.

Maybe, but it was a strange injury that never made sense, since I wasn't doing anything unusual or different from my normal routine. That was my right knee. I also had significant issues with my left shoulder. I couldn't raise that arm higher than shoulder height, and I couldn't move that arm in certain ways, such as behind my back. Certain movements were extremely painful. In retrospect I felt like both of those problems were PMR-related.
