How are you tapering prednisone?

@mech in response to your tapering schedule, I would talk to your doctor about what you should do. Maybe the Dr. will want you to taper by .5mg instead of 1mg and more slowly. Everyone is so different and the pain from PMR is hard to distinguish from old injuries sometimes. Usually the pain from PMR is bilateral in my personal experience. It would be best for you to discuss with your Dr. Wishing you the best!

@gigilea thanks. My doc is the one who told me to taper by 1mg, go back up if needed. My pmr pain is bilateral also. Maybe ill try .5 taper next. Thank you!
