Hello,
Pain and weakness of muscles could be a muscle strain. Definite diagnosis is necessary before taking any medication like steroids. I suggest you consult an orthopedician for clinical assessment and relevant investigations for definitive diagnosis.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
