Sorry you're having morning pain. You don't mention how much prednisone you're on? Typical starting dose is at least 15 to 20 mg. I know not every rheumatologist start at that level, but I did not find any relief at 10mg which I was started on or 15mg, but did find relief at 20 mg - which is a common starting dose to begin with. Let your doctor know that you're not having relief and see if you can increase it.
