@dlb3 since going off prednisone, how soon did you begin having pain and inflammation and how have you been treating it?

I was on prednisone for eight months. The prednisone controlled my GCA as well as PMR during those 8 months. During my taper, I got down to 3 mg of prednisone and the pain started to return. I decided to go from 3 to 0, and did not notice that much of a difference in my pain level. I cannot say that I am in remission from PMR. Any pain that I have now is controlled by taking ibuprofen or Aleve.
