Hi.Thanks for writing on HCM.
This could be due to muscle strain/spasm.Try using hot/cold bag locally to relieve the spasm(2-3 times) a day and apply counter irritant analgesics prior to this.Simple analgesics like paracetamol and muscle relaxants should give you pain relief within 2-3days. Hope this helps.
