I have not had a recent MRI of my spine. I do not have any back pain so I am pretty sure it is not a disk issue.
I think there would be pain with that wouldn't there?

My DH has a herniated disc last summer. His main problem was his mobility. He was using crutches because his legs were extremely weak and painful. His disc protruded and impringes on the nerve. He did have some back pain but mostly his hip and legs that were the problem.
Could this be part of your problem? I don't know, it was just a thought.
You might ask for a c-spine MRI just in case you do have lesions there, at least then you would know the why of your difficulties at this point. Spinal lesions are quite nasty.
As far as prednisone: LA, it's been years since I used it and I don't remember taperind dosage...sorry.
