How to address PMR pain while decreasing prednisone

It usually isn't recommended to taper down if you are currently in pain. The pain usually means you already aren't taking enough prednisone to control the inflammation in your body. If you go down again, it might only get worse - even invite a flare. That will set you back a lot! You should probably discuss this with your doctor.

My pain is manageable so far, just in my feet and once i get up and walk around the pain goes away…..i walk 45 minutes a day. I have my Doctor involved and plan on getting a blood test before further tapering down to see what my CRP levels are…i have also changed my diet and this seems to be helping…Thanks for your advise, i really appreciate it, it is a very good group with a lot of information…
