What Causes A Rope Like Knot In The Quadriceps?
I have a rope-like knot along the front of the length of my quad. I was kicking a soccer ball during a game and felt a sharp pain in my quad immediately afterwards. I dismissed the injury and thought nothing of it. It has now been four years and this rope-like knot hasn t gone away. I have sharp pain in the same spot when squatting, and can feel it pulsing sometimes when going up stairs and extending/lifting my leg. Any idea what could be going on?

Most likely a muscle tear. Only after you do an MRI would you know exactly what's going on. Its been 4 years!!!! You need to meet your ortho doc for proper management. If surgery is not needed, you may benefit from a couple of months treatment from a Physiotherapist / Occupational therapist.
