Hey Patrick,
Sorry, but I've never taken Pred so I can't help you there. Will you be seeing one of your doctor's in the very near future? If not, maybe you should call one and try to get an appointment for as soon a possible. That's a long time to be having that much pain. I hope you find out what is causing it and you get some relief soon. Take care and let us know how you're doing.
Hugs,
Pat
