Hi. Meloxican is a nsaid that seems primarily to be used for OA or rheumatoid arthritis. The Rheumy i see tested for RA, Lupus etc etc at first visit (i presumed all do it). Its not unusual to have some OA in the spine, i have had it for a few years so try not to be concerned too much.
Even though you are on a low dose of pred, you should beware gastric issues. I hope they can confirm what you are dealing with.

Ankylosing spondylitis is a possibility - it is similar to PMR in early stages but particularly causes night time pain and also responds well to meloxicam-type medications
