Default When should oral steroids start working?

Started a taper of steroids yesterday, just wondering if anyone knows when they start working or when I should notice any potential improvement?

The taper starts out at 40 mg for two days, Then 30 mg for two days and so on. I'm wondering if he should've prescribed a larger dose.

I'm just freaked out because my hands and arms really hurt today. I'm just really desperate for it to stop hurting.
