Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.
I think you should search for the cause of this neuropathy and stop taking steroid. I suppose to do the following EMG and NCV FOR the affected lower limb , x ray cervical spine and lumbosacral spine,investigate blood sugar level to exclude DIABETES
I prefer receiving neurotonics and pregabalin.
