Take the prednisone and don't be a pussy. Prednisone will reduce the inflammation regardless of where it is coming from. Its not a bandaid, its part of the puzzle to eventually get you better in the long run. If you feel better from the medication it will not mask any test or imaging that you might have in the future. EMGs are only good after a month or two following an injury. Fresh/acute injuries are not accurately diagnosed with an EMGs.
A nerve is being effected. It could be local (near your foot) or from your low back. Likely you irritated a nerve in your low back from doing you leg workout.
Poor mans EMG...ice your lower back for 20 minutes and if your foot feels better than likely your low back is contributing.
