@elizabethjoan I've been advised not to take ibupofen while I'm taking prednisone both by my rheumy and the info that comes with my prescription. I do limit it, but once in awhile I need additional relief and take two.
I've also heard that we should take prednisone between 3 and 4 a.m. I don't do that, but understand the reasoning. Some people who don't get 24 hour relief from prednisone split their dose.

I would not take that with the Prednisone. I do understand pain is devastating, but take tylenol instead. I take the Prednisone as late as I can, and at times I forget and wake up in middle of night with pain and remember. Prednisone can irritate the stomach so I take a Pantoprazole at night.
