Brief Answer:
I think you should take hydrocodone .

Detailed Answer:
Dear Sir,

Thank you for posting your query on HCM.

Well looking into your problem I would like to tell you that colchicine is an anti-inflammatory drug so it will be best if we add an opioid analgesic to the same so in my opinion hydrocodone apap should serve this purpose .

Take care.
