I agree with @seniormed that you should see a rheumatologist as soon as possible. But it could be that your pain and stiffness will improve in another few days. Here is a quote from Google:
"Inadequate response: If symptoms don't improve adequately within 7 to 10 days, the diagnosis of PMR may need to be reconsidered, or a higher prednisone dose might be necessary." Considering the clock started for you this past Saturday, at 30 mg, maybe you'll start feeling better soon.

Here’s to hoping you are right. Cheers!
