Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
hi im 20 years old im 6 4 200 pounds and i was playing basketball and i went to take a shot and my leg just tightened up. I sat out the rest of the day and yest and my leg between my calf and shin on the left side has a sensitive spot to touch and as im sitting down its just a sharp pain going away and then coming back. I can walk and run just fine.
The symptoms seem to be related to a muscle cramp. I recommend using a muscle relaxant such as Baclofen three times a day. I also suggest using magnesium supplement for muscle relaxation.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
