Steroids will improve the symptoms but diagnosis needs to be established. Is there history of morning stiffness? Since how many years are you suffering?

Your investigations  do not point to a definite autoimmune rheumatic disease at present. As your symptoms persist and recur after stopping steroids, I recommend a repeat rheumatology review for a detailed examination before considering further treatment. Avoid continuing steroids without medical supervision.
Next Steps
visit a rheumatologist
Health Tips
do not continue steroids long term without supervision
