Hi
Thank for posting on HCM
Sorry to hear all you are going through.
Treatment options for the pains you are feeling may include: Different lines of pain drugs depending on pain intensity, myorelaxants, steroid shots ocassionally, physiotherapy and surgery.Many of these options may be exploited at a time for better results.I will suggest you try the following:
-Continue with opioids as prescribed by your Doctor
-A myorelaxant like miorel
-Hire the services of a Physiotherapist
-Rest well
-Have your weight under control
-Regular fitness exercises
The see a Rheumatologist for examination and other treatment options if these do not help
Hope this will help
Wish you good health
