Tapering

Ive had PMR for nearly 5 years and I’m currently on 4 mgs of prednisolone. I’ve been taking it at 4am but recently been waking up in a lot of pain …mostly arms and legs.

This week I had 4 dental implants done which went well but I’m thinking I should have increased it before although I was struggling before I had them done . Seeing GP soon but just need some advice as to what I should increase to …thanks
