Can the body neurologically, i.e. w/o voluntary control, shift weight off a hip/pelvis that is injured but had steroids put in for pain control?

Body Compensates: The body will compensate for injury but the degree and timing are determined by your lifestyle and genetics. Some compensation is protective, such as immobility and swelling but other is detrimental and should be counteracted, such as rigidity and prolonged immobility. Medical intervention can help or hinder healing depending on a correct diagnosis. Seeking experienced help is key.

Guarding: Your body's natural reaction to pain is a protective one. If there is a sensation of pain in the leg, you will without realizing, have a preferential side to your walk, a lean basically. The steroids should help with pain, but the injection may acutely worsen your pain in the joint.
