Brief Answer:
You need to see a rheumatologist.
Detailed Answer:
Dear Madam,
Thank you for posting your query on HCM.
Well you need to be in touch with a good rheumatologist for this issue. I have gone through the medications that you have been prescribed , they are fine.
If you had been prescribed colchicine it would have been better or a small course of steroids would have sufficed but that depends on your treating doctor .
Any other concerns let me know.
Take care.
