What Causes Severe Muscle Spasms In The Left Hip?
What would cause periodic intermittent severe muscle spasms ( from hip to knee) seems to be related to having had a total left hip replacement over a year ago . Does not ever occur walking or sitting but happens in a standing position with trunk rotation and possible position of left foot which turns inward at times .these muscle spasms occur more frequently and are extremely painful and I am unable to even move for about 10 min after spasm subsides. Definitely impactingdaily activity with a fear of when they will occur
