Anyone else have PMR with some serious sternum/rib cage pain?

On 15 mg prednisone now for two weeks. The excruciating stiffness and pain is lessened greatly. However some days are worse than others. Does PMR affect knees as well as thighs?
What do you take for pain relief? Tylenol 1000 works for me if the pain isn’t over the top, otherwise the pain is always there. Lessened since prednisone but always there.

I have had occasional pain in one knee but it is not really too bad. I take ibuprofen, naproxen, or tylenol. They all work for me to varying degrees.
