Suggest Treatment For Difficulty In Movement Of Hand After Injury

I broke my right elbow several times when I was younger, and after one of the breaks the doctor didn't set it right and it didn't heal correctly. So for the past 15 years( I'm 20) I hadn't been able to straighten my arm completely out. I had another surgery about 6 months ago that allows my arm to extend almost fully, much more than it was, but I can only extend it with the help of my other arm pushing or if I'm holding something heavy enough to extend it. I do physical therepy everyday and just got a membership at the local gym, but in the last 6 months havent seen a lot of improvement to extend my arm by itself. So my question is, are there ever cases where a doctor has prescribed a muscle steroid to a patient who has a condition such as mine?
