Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Your problem can be due to tendonitis. Avoid lying down on that side. You can use ice pack on the area of pain. Over the counter NSAIDs like ibuprofen ( motrin ) will be helpful also. If there is no improvement then you can consult an orthopedician and local corticosteroid injection like triamcinolone will be helpful in such case.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
