Welcome to HCM.
Only dexamethasone is not sufficient to relieve the pain.
Even deamethasone is not the drug for the first line treatment according to me.
You have to take nsaid with muscle relaxant to subside the pain.
B12,folic acid,l-carnitine,minerals,d3 and other supplements will be helpful.
Intramuscular injections of b12,folic acid is advisable.
Apply nsaid gel locally.
Sometime injection nandrolone (anabolic steroid)at every 20 to 30 days is required.
Consult your orthopedician for further guidance and proper medical management.
Go for morning walk and mild exercise regularly.
