Using Steroids to help an injury Question

Hey everyone,



I am recovering from a herniated disc that was crushing my sciatic nerve. I am back at work and wear a back support at work and at the gym as it helps big time. I still have mild pain somedays, stretching definitley helps.



My question is, Has anyone here taken steroids mainly to help build up your back, core etc after an injury like that? My doctor told me to build up my back and core in the gym so I was wondering if steroids ( I have taken before) would assist in helping strengthen an area to help/help prevent future injuries and get a boost in the strengthening and building of the core and back?



I know it will do it but mainly looking for people who have done this with this specific injury



thanks
