I was diagnosed two years ago have been steadily slowly reducing pred. Have had problems at the low end I.e. going down from 2mg went back to 2 and have stayed ok that for few weeks and now without changing does have got more pain again for few nights so habe gone back to 2.5 mg. I wonder if anyone has experience in what factors cause such a pain increase on the same dosage. There has been no particular change that I can identify.
