Is Hamstring Spasm The Cause Of Severe Back And Thigh Pain?
Hi,
My brother age 23 is suffering from Heavy Back thigh Pain ( No Back pain in Waist ).
Previously it was told by a doctor that there is a GAP in L1-S5 = 10mm which came by MRI report and asked to take bed rest for 15 days but there was no improvement in one and half months so we had gone to another orthopedic and there the doctor said that the cause of the pain is "HAMPSTRING SPASM".
His pain is now a days going intolerable and also he is not able to walk for last two months.
Are we going for right treatment?
Should we consult anyone else if yes then please suggest. ( Location : Kolkata, West Bengal, India )

hi there.
Yes, such a thing pain can b due to hamstring spasm or tear.
It could also be due to deep vein thrombosis of thigh.
i would suggest you to get a colour doppler of the thigh done to arrive to a conclusion.
to diagnose hamstring tear you need to get an mri of the affected area done.
Good luck.
