You might try adding Turmeric. Select one with black pepper (improves the anti inflammatory action). I take Kirkland brand, 1000 mg, two tabs a day. It can take a while before you see results.

I get results pretty quickly and then sustained dosing builds the improvement. Tylenol Extra Strength, taken 2 tabs at 7am, 3pm, 11pm. The combo works well for me.

Tylenol extra strength has helped me with pain, but it does not help with inflammation when you have PMR. My two cents worth. I’ve been off prednisone totally since June 2024. I personally seem to have better luck with managing minimal pain with naproxen or ibuprofen
