I can't answer your question, but I can caution about prednisone vs. sleep. In short, for most people (including myself and friends), oral prednisone and steroids seriously mess up sleep quality.

As usual, check with your physician.

I also can't tolerate prednisone as I feel like I've had 20 cups of coffee. I can't sleep at all and get terrible tremors. Then my doctor told me methylprednisolone is better tolerated by some people. I was skeptical, but he was right! Now maybe just 2 cups of coffee. I got more house work done while taking it, but I was able to sleep at night. Worth a try. I did not take it for pain, but for inflammation I had without pain. Hopefully, reducing inflammation would help with your pain?
