The conclusion that could be reached when symptoms come back after stopping steroids is that there is likely a lot of inflammation in there that it was keeping under control. A neuro is your best bet. The vet didn't even palpate his spine?

We've been through the disc/steroid thing. This may or may not be that. The front leg weakness may not fit. The neuro may have an idea just with the exam. Wouldn't be surprised if they wanted to do the MRI.

Is he on any other drugs for this, specifically for pain?

It is never okay to just dismiss a sizable bladder stone. Your pup needs another general vet asap. It may need to be removed, diet change, etc.
