Increasing unrelenting pain - PMR?

I'm having the same symptoms. They started me on 10 then 40. I did well for a few weeks and little pain, they cut me down too 20 and the pain came back and now I'm up to 60. I still am having pain. It scares me too taking CBD drops seems to help numb it.

My situation is very similar. I started at 20mg, which did nothing. 40mg was magic--took away most of the pain. I tried to taper to 30mg, pain came back full force. Now I'm back at 40 but have more pain than before (though not a full flare). I have all the unpleasant prednisone symptoms and hate being on such a high dose, but there seems to be no other way of controlling the inflammation. CBD drops help me a little, but not much. My dr told me I have an unusually bad case of PMR and it might be a long road. I hope you get some relief soon.
