Need to be evaluted: Steroids can cause muscle atrophy weakness and tendinitis, some time just rest and taking it easy will help the pain but if it does not get better you may need further test to diagnose the problem. In the mean time you can try some ice or heat alternatively to see if it helps good luck.
