Extreme pain...please answer!!!?

Question

So I have no idea what this could be....badly pulled muscle, ripped muscle.....? The muscle right above my knee cap is swollen and REALLY painful. I am limping really bad. What could this be? I have ice on it right now. I took a shower and the hot water didn't help at all. PLease help. I have to be back at work tomorrow and my job requires me to stand the whole time except when I take a break. I can't be in this much pain in the morning.

Answer 1

It sounds to me that you either damaged a muscle really bad or broke something. I'd seriously get this checked out before anything gets worse. If icing it and heating it isn't helping, then this really needs to be brought up with a doctor.

Answer 2

pee on it lol

Answer 3

You will be fine. It is just a little muscle pain. I've been there many times just keep stretching tomorrow.  

Answer 4

You should see a doctor.  When I was in highschool playing on the defensive line, a center hit the deck and rolled onto my foot to knock me down.  I collapsed over the knee, but the pain was not that bad.  I rested it for about a week and it got better without going to the doctor.  About six months later, I started having pain right above the knee.  For years doctors could not figure out why because they kept looking at it as a knee injury.  Years later, a doctor ordered an MRI of my quad and it showed that I tore my quad and some blood vessels did not heal properly and as a result just kept growing and formed a big tumor that had to be surgically removed.

Umm well get it checked but when did somethign to my muscle they told me to stay away from heat and just keep ice on it. They also said to stay off of it as much as possible(they gave me crutches).
