Brief Answer:
I will suggest you try Tylenol and Ibuprofen rather!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this pain. Prednisone is a good rug for arthritis but may not be the best for this pain which seems to be of musculoskeletal origin. I will suggest you try tylenol and ibuprofen together for this pain. It should offer much relief. Continuing with ice would be helpful as well.

If the pain fails to resolve within 48hours or decrease significantly, then we would be investigating more through a more detailed interview, physical examination and probably a few imaging studies to map out the exact nature and address appropriately.

Let me know what your take is and how your are feeling after trying this. I wish you well and available to address any further concerns you may have.
