Steroids again.

Well after agonising long and hard over wether to try the dreaded steroids or not, I decided to give it a go. Was really chuffed either myself, I seemed to be tolerating them really well, with either little or no side effects and on the third day really felt they had made a big difference to my leg. I was walking further and not dragging my foot as much and I was over the moon. However this seems to have been short-lived and now both my legs feel weak and weird and probably worse then they did before I started the steroids. Please tell me this is a blip. Is it common to get worse again before getting better after a course of steroids?
@Stumbler

Yes, this is very common with steroids. You can get an immediate "high", which is quickly followed by the "steroid crash". The steroids will be helping your body to recover over the next 6-8 weeks, so be patient......

Patience has never been one of my strong points @stumbler.
