Better to be in some pain or better to up the dose of prednisone?

To track daily pain do you use a spreadsheet or just right down what your pain is each day? Sometimes I feel my pain is do to activity or in-activity. Consequently if I am in an activity it is not convenient to write down the pain I am having. I play tennis and walk so I need to make it easy to keep track of the exact pain and activity.

Do you have a wall calendar? On the odd occasion I have aches in the morning (usually while reducing dose or after cutting a load of firewood, for example) I write it on the calendar. If I do some unusual activity I write it down, and record if there are aches later. Early on, I used to record a few words each morning, but I'm usually without PMR aches now, so only do it on the days when something is different. Do it the way that suits you so you can see patterns and perhaps adjust your activities.
