Torn Quadricep

Llamadance Jun 2011 6:47pm, 7 Jun 2011 9,866 posts	0 Llamadance Unfortunately I thought it wise to play football at school with a bunch of 14 yr olds for a couple of days. Hurt my right quad a bit, had a point pain which was achey and sore to press. Stupidly I kept playing until I took a penalty and got an agonising pain through my quad (scored it though ) Anyway, it still hurts, though pain has subsided a bit. Bruising has appeared on lower inside and for about eight inches on outside of thigh. I can walk and flex the knee. The thigh may have been a bit bumpy post injury, but I couldn't really say that now, I have had compression shorts and a tubigrip on it for the last 5 days. (mmmm). Any advice? Do I need to go see a GP?

Llamadance Jun 2011 8:17pm, 7 Jun 2011 9,868 posts	0 Llamadance yeah, I found it hard to believe I was hurting myself by kicking a ball, I did it all the time as a kid, ffs. Ah well, injured step for a few weeks. Have also tweaked my SI joint/piriformis. To compound my stupidity, after I did my right leg, I took a few penalties with my left. That quad started hurting too.
Ted Jun 2011 8:23pm, 7 Jun 2011 9,498 posts	0 Ted I currently have a tweaked SI joint too. I am allowed to cycle and only run slowly. It is literally a pain in the arse.
