HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, such pain condition could be arthritis condition but proper diagnosis is must till then it can be managed with NSAID (Non steroid Anti-inflammatory Drug) and best drug is Diclofenac 50 mg once in day, steroid is the best drug can be tried if it is the arthritis condition but it need to be given under medical supervision in tapper dosages, hope this information helps.
