First, the anabolic steroids used in sports and bodybuilding are entirely different from the corticosteroidsused in most medical treatments (although anabolic steroids do have some medical uses).

Second, anti-inflammatory effects of corticosteroids can be very effective for treatment of acute conditions. However, sustained use usually brings on serious side-effects, which can be worse than the original problem. For that reason, steroid prescriptions are limited in duration. (This is essentially the same rationale behind the medical use of narcotics; they are very effective for treatment, but harmful in the long-term).
