Hi
Thanks for posting your query on HCM
I have read and understood your concern.
The pain and the tragectory of the pain that you describe points to a sciatica.Also, it may as well be hip osteoarthritis or any other form of peripheral neuropathy. Treatment options for such pain may include:
-Different lines of pain drugs depending on pain intensity
-Myorelaxants
-Steroid shots ocassionally
-Physiotherapy
Many of these options may be used together for better results.
I will advise you try a pain drug like aceclofenac, a myorelaxant like miorel and hire the services of a physiotherapist. If pain persist, you see the Doctor for evaluation and other treatment options.
Hope this will help
Wish you good health.You may write back if more concerns
Best regards
