My Injury

Hello All,
Here is a youtube video link to view my injury. I am running on a treadmill and if you watch the video at around 2:20-25 and 2:40 you will see my left leg jerk slightly. This is the spasm I have been dealing periodically with since December 2006 & then constantly since August 2007.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Kind regards!
