How To Overcome The Pain In My Vastus Intermedius In Both Legs?

I have major pain in my vastus intermedius in both legs. The pain is dull when resting both of my legs, but hurts when I flex my legs downward, as if going down stairs. The pain is very sharp when going upwards, as if going up stairs. I m pretty sure I caused this by going from flat smiled shoes to four inch heels and wearing them for extended amounts of time in a twenty four hour period. I d like the pain to go away, with taking pills as a last resort.

In my opinion you can do quadriceps strengthning exercise along with hamstrings and calf streching exercise , this will be more like a permenant solution , if pain persist then i recommend a back x ray to check for disc lesion or arthritis

Good Luck
