hi
thanks for using hcm
this could be due to spasm occuring suddenly related to the hamstring muscle.
it could be due to some trauma,or unnoticed injury, or excessive strain,obesityor any local infection involving the knee joint
application of local pain reducing gels like diclofenac will be of great help.
please visit an orthopaedician to rule put any joint problems.
x-ray knee or mri can be of help
take care
