Treating a Pulled Quad Muscle

You are great at explaining and really know your stuff! Thanks a million times!

I had a rupture in my left Achilles about 18 months ago playing basketball. This week in the same leg I felt like I had a strain, I’m so glad I found this i was going to do the opposite of almost everything she suggested!

I didnt kick anything and I was just laying on my chest and throw my leg to my butt kinda and then I felt some annoying thing in my leg a knew it’s a strain *first degree….
And I applied a bandage on that like elastic circular one ( like one leg shorts kinda ) and I m elevating it… While my other just recovered from vmo strain… How ironic… I don’t feel sharp pain tho and I can move fully move it…. And I can’t still actually do one leg squats I m just avoiding the movement and I feel like the area is burning a bit which it normal

I ruptured part of my quad on my left quad 1st to 2nd degree and for some reason I don’t need surgery. Why???

I ruptured my right quad 3rd degree 3 years ago and I didn’t get surgery due to no insurance. But, now the doc wants to do something about it, I don’t know if I can trust the guy. I feel I need surgery for my left quad but he says he’s reluctant to do it because I don’t need it but how the hell am I supposed to play full Field if the tendon doesn’t close??? My right quad is a mess so should I just say forget it to all sports now?

I can’t touch it but I use the rubbing cream on it. It worked well but it burned like fire ������

how surgery will help? can we attach that ruptured part to it’s original place but there will be tendon.. how is that possible? ��

I pulled this sprinting, if I wanted to return to squatting would that require more or less rest than returning to sprinting

Yes most exercises can be performed everyday, as long as there are no side effects or pain following the exercises

no need to justify yourself man, this is america and your not breaking any laws. myself 1 arthroscopic and 2 reconstructive on my left knee. thanks, 2 years later

My problem was not on my quadriceps but on my Pc. Major… I had a rupture of the tendon 2 years ago, made a surgery to reinsert the tendon on the bone and now i had a rupture of the muscle, the tendon is on the place.
What can i do now? Another surgery or just fysiotherapy?

If you’ve pulled a muscle, and then start to stretch it through exercise you WILL feel pain. According to this you must stop doing the exercise immediately. Rather pointless advice.

Then boobs will tear her back muscles. Those are some knockers

Tara has some really great advice! In conjunction with her advice, using medicinal herbal massage oils can really help accelerate the healing process of pulled muscles. Arnica oil is amazing at healing pulled muscles in a short amount of time. It does this by reducing inflammation and swelling along with taking the shock out of an injury. When you do this, it allows your body to relax and use its energy to heal. I use Arnica oil from @t. These oils are high quality and very effective. They also have an array of other medicinal oils for other types of injuries. Ive found that using herbal oils in conjunction with physical therapy, really heals the root of the problem and actually strengthens the body back to a place of health. Rather than mostly healing and having a little issue for a while (or the rest of your life, i.e with a sprained ankle) It helps actually completely heal the issue so you’re back to your strong self!

I play football i be pullin muscles n shit. They can both help me. I wouldn’t mind ;). I would have some fun.

I just tore mine a few weeks ago. im 19. Worst pain ive ever felt.

My muscle isnt the only thing that i pulled. If you know what im talking about.

i just learned my dance solo at my studio for lik 5 hours yesterday, and my abs hurt, my butt hurts,and my legs hurt all over

So you never watch any video or looked at a picture because of someone looks. Are you jealous?

How come the sports orthopedic told me I never needed surgery so therapy was involved and now both my quads look like shit???

Great video, well worth the watch. I was out of the gym for months due to COVID and lost a lot of strength and muscle. I began in an intense gym programme last week and suffered significant quad pain barely being able to walk, never mind the stairs! I didn’t realise the importance of resting and the science behind a quad tear. Really helpful vid, I’m beginning to finally feel better. Thank you!

I injured the top muscle of my thigh at the front during soccer training in october 2010. This happened when i kicked the ball and i didnt do warm up and it was my first time playing football for about 3 months. My mum is a nurse and she said ” theres no need to go see a doctor, just apply cream to it” during during the 15th of december 2010 i played soccer but i didnt feel much pain. Now, january 17th 2011 i can still feel pain when kicking a ball. But when kicking something light for example

I tore my left quad tendon while playing hockey. I crashed into the end boards and both of my legs buckled underneath. I then fell coming down the stairs at home and tore the one on my right knee. I had surgery on 9th may 2013 and returned to work on 24th June. Physical therapy has begun and so far so good. I don’t think I will be playing hockey again. I only wish to be able to walk again with confidence and negotiate stairs normally. This has been the worst experience I’ve ever dealt with

I tore mine walking down the stairs at my ambulance station a year ago. Unfortunately, I also damaged my hip and my back. I never had any problem with my quads before. Really good video.

Would there be a lump if this happened? I have a weird lump where the muscle should be smooth and tight like my other leg

Rehab should start as soon as pain-free to help remodel the scar tissue. It’s impossible to know what you ay have done yesterday to aggravate the injury it may be another minor tear, hard to know. rest again until pain free

on 10/21/15, i tore my quadricep tendon I had surgery about a week ago

ice..check… aspirin…check… stretch…check..$900 bill from a PT when this lady could have gave free advice… check

Physical therapist here. Just went to the gym and the owner told me his leg gave out while he was walking. Significant pain, could not walk (which is very bad because his other leg is healing from a fracture), and was sitting down at the counter when I came in. He asked me to take a look and he had the cardinal signs listed here. I told him to go to the hospital ASAP but I think he is concerned about costs, being independent (he lives on the second story and can’t go up the stairs, or walk for that matter) so I am at a loss for his future QOL. I hope he gets the help he needs. Great video, very helpful.

So doing one simple stretch routine will heal my thigh?
C’mon….surely, there must be other exercises:-)

It is likely to feel tight after a moderate to severe injury so make sure you do lots of stretching, but yes, you can start strengthening as long as it isn’t painful

Merlins beard! You read my mind, I found this video a few weeks after the strain lol

What if you tear a portion of the tendon and the orthopedic says no surgery is needed. Is there correct?? Even if I feel a little bulge is accumulated?
