I did pose my question to both my rheumatologist and primary, and the answer I get is some, or little pain, but not debilitating. Still hard for me to ascertain what is acceptable while trying to balance the need to taper off Prednisone.

@sharonanng I completely understand that. Perhaps you could use the pain scale from 0-10 and ask them where they think would be unacceptable during taper and following? I would be curious if a pain rating of 3, 5, 7 is acceptable. Could you consider using that as your way to communicate since that is typical already?
