Hi @sap63, Welcome to Connect. If your doctor and your PT referred you to a neurologist and the neurologist didn't mention anything about the thigh spasms, did you happen to bring it up during the examination/testing? If it were me and both my PT and primary care doc thought it might be neurological I would want some sort of explanation from the neurologist why he didn't think it was. So I might consider a second opinion.
While we wait for others with similar symptoms to share their experience, I thought I would share this article with some tips/suggestions that might be helpful if you haven't already seen them.

You mentioned it's only with your left thigh having spasms when you are awake. Are the spasms painful like muscle cramps?

Thank you for your response and sharing the article . I did bring it up / ask for an explanation- pointing out that both the PT and my Primary doctor were concerned and his response was thigh spasms on one side only can happen without any cause for concern. The spasms are painful.
I forgot to mention that he also said I could try flexeril but I reminded him that since these spasms only occur during the day - the side effect of sedation during the day wasnt something I could consider
