Does Anterior Thigh Pull Require Medical Attention?
Hi. I was just playing soccer and took a relatively hard warm-up shot. I felt something in my anterior thigh pull. I ignored it and took another shot, at this point it almost felt like something tore. I m currently experiencing lots of pain and stiffness in my anterior thigh. I was wondering if this is just a Rectus Femoris sprain, or something more serious I should contact my physician about?

Hello,
I suggest you to take a break from your activities. Rest, compression and elevate the leg. You can take non steroidal medicines like ibuprofen to relieve pain. if pain persist or you don't feel better consult with your doctor.
