Hi,
Based on the history you have shared, you should get yourself reviewed by a rheumatologist to rule out PMR. Steroid induced myopathy is rare side effect that also needs to be ruled out. PAD usually cause pain in extremeties like calf etc. Meanwhile OTC analgesic like acetaminophen may be helpful.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
