A member asked:

I think a hamstring muscle is stuck in a contracted state. what type of doctor can i see for this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ortho/Sports med: An evaluation by an orthopedic or sports medicine specialist would be a good place to start in order to diagnose what sounds like a musculoskeletal problem in your leg. The reasons for leg muscles to cramp can be multiple, and there are other causes for a person to suddenly lose range of motion in the leg which need to be evaluated in the office on examination.
