Hi @pah17, I think @dadcue gave you some wise counsel so I won’t comment on that but just had to chime. I am so sorry to hear about your fall, I have had a few of those myself and strongly encourage you to get your knees checked out. Hopefully rest is all that is needed. I am still not traveling much due to pain so I’m super impressed that you managed all of that and planned a normal taper! When I do have a scheduled change in my routine, my rheumatologist has advised me to avoid tapering. I just continue with the dose I am taking until my schedule settles before I attempt another taper. This has helped me to know if increased pain is because of all the trip movement or if it really could be the taper. I hope that is helpful and prayers for pain free knees! ❤️
