What Causes Painful Hard Lump On The Quadriceps?

Hi I had a quad strain about 10 weeks ago while playing soccer, I stopped playing immediately and applied ice, for the next 4 weeks I didn t do much on it at all, for the next 4 weeks after that I began light jogging with plenty of stretching, the past 2 weeks I have returned to full training but my leg doesn t feel 100%. I have a hard lump on my quad which is sore to touch, what could this be?

Hi,
Sad to hear that your are not in act of football for about 10 weeks. Because myself a basketball player too. You didn't mentioned the mode of injury. Just want to know whether it is a direct injury, during a kick or fall. There are three types of quadriceps injury,
1. Strain, rupture
2. Contusion and
3. Hernia.
As of soreness means mostly you been hit directly lead to contusion. It usually get settled in weeks after home remedies and medications. The full functional status may appear after stretching and activities which may takes months. Bruise usually at the muscle bulk. If it is any other condition, may be at lower level. Your issue will get settle soon, if it is a simple clot. Just do your stretches and proceed. Hope your strong will, solve your issue soon. Ask if you have more questions.
