Pulled Quad

Hi, I was playing flag fball and I think I pulled my quad. It happened last Monday night and I could barely walk on it all week, it also swelled up like a balloon around the entire thigh and knee, now its black & blue and I was wondering is this possibly worse than just a pull or strain. I still cannot move fast or touch the upper leg without a lot of pain. Any suggestions please advise. ThanksJoan

    It will take about a 3-4 weeks before you will able do any normal exercise. it is important to continue to care for your leg keep it wrapped and continue icing any swelling regularly. Especially if you continously walk throughout the day. Asprin helps for everyday pain, but do not try to excert yourself or you will begin the process all over again. Get well soon
