HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor Steroids 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
