- Prednisone tapering: How did you do it pain free? https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/prednisone-tapering-4/
It looks like you and your PCP continue to search for propering dosing to manage your symptoms until you can see a specialist. Your pain sounds quite debilitating and definitely diminishing your quality of life. Have you been able to discuss increasing your dose of prednisone, the possible benefits and risks until you get an appointment with the rheumatologist?
