Hi
Thanks for posting on HCM
The pain you describe could be caused by hip/low back osteoarthritis or sciatica....Treatment options for such pains may include: different lines of pain drugs depending on the intensity of pain intensity, myorelaxants, steroids, physiotherapy, surgery.Some of these options may be used together for better results.I will advise you try the following:
-Take a pain drug like aceclofenac
-A myorelaxant like miorel
-Regular fitness exercises
-Have your weight under check
-You may hire the services of a Physiotherapist.
If these measures do the help, you see your Doctor or a Rheumatologist for evaluation.
Hope this will help
Best regards
