@bobrizzo - Wondering if you might be tapering too fast if you are having more unexplained pain. You might want to checkout another discussion started by @dadcue - How to Slowly and Safely Taper Off Prednisone but ... no set rules.: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/how-to-slowly-and-safely-taper-off-prednisone-but-no-set-rules/.

Do you keep a daily journal with your level of pain and dosage of prednisone?
