I have gone through your query and understand your concern. Steroid therapy of prednisolon 25 mg is unlikely to cause knee pain in short term but if someone is taking for long time than it can cause knee pain by complications of steroid such as osteoporosis and avascular necrosis of bone.
You can discuss with your doctor about it.
Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then I will be happy to help you.
Wishing you a good health.
Take care.
