Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion it is muscular pain only as it is associated with movement. It is aggravated by certain position and movements. So possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more.
Pancreatitis pain is usually constant and more in the back.
So try to follow these steps for better symptomatic relief in muscular pain.
1. Avoid heavy weight lifting and strenuous exercise.
2. Avoid bad postures in sleep.
3. Avoid movements causing pain.
4. Take good painkiller and muscle relaxant.
5. Apply warm water pad on affected site.
