Many people take steroids to increase muscle mass and strength. But I have also heard that they are used to treat various diseases, such as asthma or arthritis. I am a little wary that they can have serious side effects. Also, I do not fully understand how safe it is. Has anyone here encountered the use of steroids for treatment or for training? And how justified is it at all? I would like to know about personal experience or opinion on this matter. What are the possible risks and is it worth it?

I personally have not used steroids, but I know people who have taken them for treatment. An acquaintance of mine had serious joint problems and steroids helped him with his pain. This confirms that steroids can be useful not only for building muscle, but also for improving quality of life when you have a medical condition.
