HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Cancer would be the least likely cause for most symptoms. Inflammation can be due to infection, trauma, allergies etc.
Cancer is one of many causes of inflammation.
In addition to the prednisolone, you may need an anti inflammatory pain medication such as naproxen or ibuprofen
I hope this helps
