General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I have read your description and understand your concern.
Chronic back pain what you are experiencing certainly needs a proper evaluation. It could be due to problems in the inter-vertebral disk in the spinal column.
Kindly get CT and MRI scan done of your spine and pelvic region at the earliest and consult Orthopaedic Surgeon with the report for further evaluation and management. Accordingly, appropriate treatment can be instituted to overcome the problem.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
