Welcome Billy B @engramb318, Prednisone pretty much took care of my aches and discomfort unless I was tapering to a lower dose or tapering too fast. You aren't alone. You might want to scan through the other posts and discussions where members have mentioned using celebrex along with prednisone. Here's a search of Connect listing the different discussions and comments from members - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/search/.

Some members have found that splitting their dose of prednisone and taking some later in the day helped. Have you ever tried that or discussed with it your rheumatologist for alternatives that may help?
