I need a answer from allopathic point of view. I have severe pain in my hamstrings and knee pain /inflammation for 10 years. I take muscle relaxant and tegrital which eases the pain of my hamstrings as suggested by neurologist. Is the pain in knees also connected to the pain in hamstring (which I believe is yes, then which doctor should I consult who can club both my issues and help me deal with both.
