HI
Thank for asking to HCM
If your diabetes status is well controlled then no need to worry but still I would like to advise you to go for glycosylated hemoglobin test, if it turns normal then the reason for your pain could be arthritic changes and for that symptomatic medicine is the only treatment you can try and drug of choice would be the "Diclofenac" tab with the "acetaminophen" this will give very good result keep continue the exercise have nice day.
