That is really too complex a question for an internet answer.

Firstly you should taper down slowly... sudden stopping is not safe. Pred suppresses your adrenals, leaving you short, with stopping suddenly.

People with inflammatory problems sometimes can take a small dose of Prednisone every other day and avoid some of the nasty side effects and still get some relief. But that should be discussed with the doctor.

If prednisone works for you then aspirin or other NSAIDs will work too. That is another topic for discussion.
