Hello Amit & thank you for posting on HCM
If you are having back pain for last 3y with stiffness in RT leg & numbness in Rt foot - first thing that you should get done is MRI of lower back as above symptoms suggest nerve impingement ( needs prolapsed disc as a cause to be looked out for , other possibility is stenosis OR narrowing of spinal canal which is also seen on MRI)
I carnitine is a nutritional supplement
Ubidecarenone is CoQ 10 which is again health supplement & also works as anti oxidants when combined with other enzymes - you can obtain this from natural foods like soyabeans & nuts as CoQ10 is normally present in the body.
Above agents only help to support health but they will have no effect on back problems.
I hope this helps
