    Default Quad Pain Help!

    It has been 4 months since I hit my VMO quad hard at my desk. There is a constant dull pain and at times sharp sensations and tingling and my leg will contract trying to do something. About 3 weeks ago I was standing and felt something release and felt blood flow down the back of my leg. I thought this may have been the end of it. The next morning I woke up and there was a bruise right in the spot where I hit it. This is the first time there was ever a bruise. Also the hair in the spot on my VMO were the bruise formed all fell out. Probably 1 inch in diameter. My quad didn't feel any different though besides the bruise. Within a week the bruise went away and it is now back to the way it was before except for the hair is gone in that one spot and when I take my fingers and squeeze my skin in that spot without the hair I can feel a small lump under the skin almost like a blood clot or cyst or something but if I don't squeeze it you can't see the bump. However when I walk my injured VMO flexes much more than my other VMO right in the spot where I hit it. I have had a MRI on my knee and Quad both coming out negative and not even showing fluid. I have seen 2 doctors and neither knows what is going on. I know something isn't right as this hurts constantly. I have tried physical therapy for 4 weeks and strengthening and not doing anything as well and nothing has worked. Always is the same constant dull pain whether sitting or standing. Any help would be appreciated.

    Have you tried some sports massage to break down any scar tissue and get rid of waste products from the injury, as wll as incing muscle flexibility
