Hi,

You must look for a sports medicine - hip preservation surgeon. Stiff scars around the hamstrings can be disabling. There are some types of surgeries that can be performed to improve your quality of life. But you must check it out with a doc with a couple of studies in hand, such as an MRI.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
