It has now been long enough since I took the last dose of the prednisone (six days) that it's reasonable for me to use naproxen again, and that is making a real difference. I woke up with pain in my left hip both yesterday and today, took a naproxen this morning, and am feeling a lot better. Still not exactly bouncy, but this is the difference between really not wanting to go as far as the sidewalk, and taking the trash out being OK. (That means walking around to the back of our building; the alternative is going down a spiral staircase, about two flights of descent, and then climbing back up, which I don't like even aside from needing to keep one hand free for the railing.)

I took tylenol a few times in the last few days, as better than nothing, but either this isn't the sort of pain tylenol is good for (certainly possible), or it doesn't work well for me.
