At my original PMR diagnosis, my ESR was 75. Two weeks and 30mg prednisone later, my ESR was 14 and all pain had been suppressed.
Now 16 months later, have tapered to 1, and ESR yesterday was 9. Only pains now are very minor, and are osteoarthritis in one shoulder and occasionally in wrists. No problem.

I'm very similar to you. My ESR was 54 when I was diagnosed with GCA, and it has consistently been 2 since I started treatment 7 months ago. I'm currently at 10 mg prednisone and weekly Actemra injections. I don't have any pain except for some arthritis in my hands.
