Bit difficult to say with no background to go on….but 3 weeks after a taper could indicate it is.
But have you done anything recently that could account for the pains…lifted something heavy, moved furniture, gardening, need new pillows….?
If it is a flare, then link contains usual advice to deal with it - just follow example adjusting to your own dose -

What did you drop to 5mg from? But as DL says, 3 weeks after a drop is about the right time to discover that new dose isn't QUITE enough.
I get this, without tapering, from staring at my phone reading the news. It stopped when, as a Lenten practice, I deprived myself of this diversion. Began again when I resumed.
