Cramp!
Sudden onset of cramp in hamstring 15 months after left hip revision, of sorts.
Right hip pinned aged 12, left hip pinned aged 15, pins out r/h aged 22, l/h aged 23. 1st THR r/h aged 32. L/h THR aged 38. Revision due to stem in l/h twisting and getting stuck on edge of ball socket. Now have cramp in left thigh hamstring, usually in evenings while I’m chilling on the sofa. It is sudden onset and also involves little toe twitching just beforehand. I’m 49 now. Anyone else get this? It’s driving me up the wall!

@schnufflebug Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect.
That's strange that the cramp started so long after the surgery.

May I ask if you go to or have considered going to PT for this?
