I'm not a doctor but the starting dose might be too low if it didn't relieve the pain. Here's some information on starting doses and it might be worth discussing your pain level with your rheumatologist on the current dosages.

My pain is controlled at 15mg daily. My original question was if my extremely swollen arms & hands with rash on hands & elbows is a common symptom for onset of PMR?
