make sure to stretch that whole side...

1)Lying down,lift leg up with both hands under knee, bring to chest, hold for 3-5 sec. do each leg 5 times.

2) Still lying down, lift legs to chest, slowly twist from waist until left leg touches floor (if possible). Hold for 3-5 sec. do other side; repeat 5 times.

3) if you have a yoga strap or long band, put under foot and, lying on back, bring leg straight up, pulling band to straighten leg. Hold for 3-5 sec. Repeat on other leg.

Not sure if you have a nerve being pressed, or if it's spasms. Either way, stretching will help lenghten the muscles; if it is a pressed nerve, this will also help take pressure off of nerves.
