Hello
As you were having arthritis ( in hip joint) and got steroid shot .
The steroid is not a treatment but only for temporary relief.
As you mentioned that pain has spread to knee and also in legs .
In my opinion get in blood for uric acid examination and also get in blood for Rheumatic factor .
After these tests also get in blood for calcium level for osteoporosis .
As you are not getting relief and disease is not under control so consult an Orthopedic Surgeon and get his opinion.
Good luck.
