PMR: Are there treatment alternatives to Prednisone?

My Dr gave me Lansopril to take 30 mins to an hour before taking Prednisone as it lines your stomach to stop getting any side effects from the steroids. I’ve been on 15mg weaned down to 4mg but struggling on 4mg now have stiffness and pain in hands and wrists. Not sure if this is all part of PMR or something else.

Thanks for your comments. I will pose your suggestion to my Dr. My PMR started with pain and weakness in my right thumb and within 24 hours spread to my whole right hand along with right arm and overall body weakness. Then my Dr. put me on 10mg Prednisone which made everything better.
