Welcome to HCM. Sorry about the pain, however, please note that you seem to be adequately treating this pain and on the regimen you are on, this should have resolved if it was benign pain, I think that there is something else going on, you need to be evaluated for things like Rheumatoid Arthritis and PMR. Please visit with your regular doctor for an initial assessment. Thanks and good luck.
