General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Your problem can be due to nerve compression syndromes. So it is better to have an examination with an orthopedician to rule out that. You might need to do X ray followed by MRI and nerve conduction study. In case of any such compression surgical decompression will be needed. Neurotropic drugs will be helpful also.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
