Corticosteroids are commonly used in the treatment of inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and can also be used for osteoarthritis to reduce inflammation and pain, although their use in osteoarthritis is more limited and cautious due to potential side effects. They are not typically used for osteoporosis, fibromyalgia, or myasthenia gravis, as these conditions do not primarily involve the type of inflammation that corticosteroids are effective against.
