Suggest Remedy For Painful Swelling On Thigh Post A Hit
Hello, I received a hit to the thigh during a rugby game. There has been no discoloration after 24 hours but it is very sore and painful upon movement (going down stairs hurts the most). It doesn t seem like there is much, if any, swelling. It hurts to flex the knee while standing and the pain is mostly on my mid/upper quadricep. What is the best approach to treatment and how long will the pain and soreness last for? Thank you!

Hi,
It seems that due to hard impact on quadricep muscles there might be having heavy strain spasm of quadricep leading to pain, tenderness and painful movement at knee joint.
Apply ice-pack 2-3 times a day for few days.
Apply some analgesic, muscle relaxant cream locally.
Give rest to the part.
Within 4-5 days you will be alright.
Ok and take care.
