HI
Thank for asking to HCM
Looking to your history and report of MRI it can be said that there is no role of surgery the medical management alone would give better result you can try some NSIAD for pain "Diclofenac " along with Acetaminophen will give best result, and important is physiotherapy this will give very excellent result hope this will help you in taking decision have nice day.
