A member asked:

I have" steroid induced myopathy w/weakness" will it get better if i do not take steroids?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Very likely: Steroid induced myopathy typically gets better when the steroids are discontinued. A lot depends on the type of steroids and the duration of the steroids. Also, you need to balance the myopathy with the rationale for the steroids. There are some situations (ie. Brain tumors) when they are essential for the treatment and management of a different disorder. In general, we try to limit steroid use.
