Doctor: HI, thanks for using healthcare magicSteroids can cause muscle cramps in some persons mainly due to changes in certain electrolyte levels.Electrolyte abnormalities can be confirmed with a blood test done by your doctor.When the steroids are discontinued, if they are the only cause of the symptoms, it is possible that they may decrease.I hope this helps
