Brief Answer:
Could be sciatica
Detailed Answer:
hi
yes it is a possibility.
sometimes the nerves around the hip or the spine may be irritated as s result of osteophytes or muscle spasm.
this may require muscle relaxants, medication for nerves like pregabalin or physical therapy with gentle exercises in order to overcome the condition.
also calcium and vitamin d should be optimised.
