I am having pain at my left leg cough muscle,bend of left knee area. The cough muscle is always having a tendency to get twisted if I try to stretch my legs specially my left Leg. This tendency is experienced more at night during sleeping. A tremendous pain is felt at the time of twisting of the muscle. What is the cause of this and what is the remedy? The Doctor has prescribed Trinerve Lc for this.Will it cure my problem?
