My lower back pain

I agree that you all are right that it is probably a pulled muscle and not a flare. I went back to 8.5mg prednisone today from the 10.5 I had raised. I will stay there at least 2 weeks before I try 8.0 mg. Let's say October 15th, ha ha. Thank you all for your great support on my questions.

But if you still have some pain - don't rush to reduce the dose!! Pulled muscles can be persistent!!!
