Yes, prednisone can cause aches and pains, from muscle pain to joint pain as side effects. It seems backward, since prednisone is often prescribed for aches and pains such as rheumatoid arthritis joint pain, but it can happen.
I have been off prednisone for 3 years. I have joint pain but it isn't PMR. Sometimes my joint pain is more now than when I was taking prednisone for PMR. Prednisone relieves pain caused by arthralgia (joint pain) just as much as myalgia (muscle pain) if the pain is caused by inflammmation. PMR can cause both myalgia and arthralgia.
