Need some advice!

I've had PMR since March 2015 and started at 20 mg. since then, I've reduced to 7mg starting 2 1/2 weeks ago. Everything was going great until I made a misake with my dosing and put 1 mg pill in my pill box as opposed to a 5 mg pill! For three days I didn't realize it and I got severe pain in my wrists and it started to come back in my shoulders and thighs. When I realized what I had done, I went back to the 5 mg pill (plus 2 one mg pills). Since then I wake up and my wrists are so painful for about 4 hours. My shoulder hurts more than usual, but I do have a torn rotator cuff and need surgery that my dr won't do until I'm off prednisone. Last night I upped my prednisone 1/2 mg (I take 5 mg in the am and 2 1/2 at night) but no difference this morning with my wrists. My question is, should I up the prednisone more? I am traveling to Vietnam and Cambodia next week, I'm bringing extra prednisone just in case! I don't know if my wrists are hurting because of a flare and upping the pred will help, or continue with the 7 1/2 daily and live with the pain in the morning. I am worried about the 17 1/2 hr flight!
sorry this post was so long, but I wanted to tell all!
