Hello!
Thank you for asking on HCM!
Your symptoms seem to be related to a musculo-skeletal pain. Inflammation or an electrolyte imbalance can not be excluded either.
For this reason, I would recommend performing further tests:
- PCR, sedimentation rate for inflammation
- blood electrolytes including calcium to exclude possible imbalance.
Meanwhile, I recommend taking ibuprofen.
I would also advise you to closely monitor the skin in this region for possible eruptions. Shingles can cause similar symptoms before eruptions.
Hope to have been helpful!
Kind regards, Dr. Aida
