Hi, thanks for reaching out.

I understand your concern. On what I have inferred, muscle spasm and muscle strain may be most common causes, due to prolonged posture or strain due to improper posturing.

Following trigger release therapy may help. Application of a warm pad over the area to increase blood circulation, following which massaging the area to release the trigger points over the muscles of lower back and thigh will help, application of ice to relive the pain.

Follow light stretches which may loosen the muscle. If pain still persists taking a muscle relaxant or a pain killer will help. Visiting a physiotherapist for proper therapy is advisable, if pain still worsens, an xray may help.

Hope this helps,
Thank you for reaching out.
