    Re: Thigh Injury - Possible Torn Quad

    We will need more information i reckon

    Did you land on one leg or two, with the hip turned or straight compared to the body and if so which way - paint me a picture!!

    Any excessive back pain at all with any movement or if you dig your fingers in anywhere?

    Have you continued playing or have you rested completely? 6 weeks at your age should sort out most muscle pulls 70-80 percent better.

    The answers to these questions are my food, so feed me.

    You could try a few simple tests to help here

    a) lay on front and pull heel towards buttock, using you other heel around the shin to add pressure - any pain? Now push your shin into your heel as if trying to straighten the leg - any pain or pain increases?

    b) Lay on back and pull knee towards chest - any pain? hold this position and now push you knee accross the body - any pain or pain increases?

    Only two very very very basic tests but might help to get the ball rolling.

    Re: Thigh Injury - Possible Torn Quad

    Hi,

    I landed on my right leg (painful leg), with my leg facing around 30 degrees to the left (twist your right foot 30 degrees to the left).

    I would have rested for 4 weeks tomorrow.

    a) Very painful once heel is 90 degrees into the air
    b) No pain when knee is on chest but when I move it across my body it is excruciating.

    Thank you for your reply
