A member asked:
After 20-30 minutes, my hamstrings start cramping. standing and lying down are just fine because my whole body is straight. what's going on here?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tendonitis: at the hamstring insertion. Could be tight hamstrings as well or could be sciatica as well. See a sports medicine spine specialist that can help determine which issue it is.
