Brief Answer:
Get investigated as advised by a neurologist
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Muscle spasm in hip and thigh region may be due to local inflammation or joint pathology. Evaluation is required. Blood CPK, counts needs to be done. X-ray of pelvis and thigh region with ultrasound should be done too. Steroids may be given in supervision.
Prednisone may lead to increase in blood pressure but can be used for short duration if required. Muscle relaxants like tolperisone, tizanidine or thiocholchicoside can be used.
Hope you found the answer helpful. Do get back to me for further information.
