Daily steroids every day cause muscle atrophy after years too. I am suffering from that now and lost shoulder and glute muscles - like a popped balloon! Hard to walk ( can’t get off steroids - too much pain -RA 35 years). Try NOT to be on steroids like this. No cure-

@catartist I am so sorry. Yes that is a perfect analagy. It is liked a popped balloon. My legs and glutes are becoming less of muscle mass. Thank you for reminding me that long use of steroids causes muscle atrophy. Summer seems to be the hardest season for me. Heat, pain and not being able to move fluently. I fell Saturday because of my legs not working as they should.
Hope you are having a good day!
