Hello,
There's is no much interactions with hydroxychloroquine and cephalexin.
Pain and pressure may be due to myositis or compartmental syndrome or muscle spasm etc.
Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is.
Use painkiller medication, if symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
