Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your question on HCM

I do understand your concern

With such a presentation in my clinic, I would first ruled out Nerve compression by doing a physical examination and you may be advised an MRI scan to confirm the diagnosis. Regarding treatment which I recommend to my patient is conservative and it includes muscle relaxants like [cyclobenzaprine], physiotherapy and corticosteroid injection to nerve roots.

Hope that helps
