Is It Advisable To Quit Physical Activity Due To Chronic Pain Of Quadriceps?
I have quadriceps pain for one year now, and it was coupled with bursitis (which was a product of the muscle or ligament strain). I haven t run now for about 10 days! I was thinking of taking the next 4-6 weeks off from all phsycial activity! Is this advisable?
Dear patient There is no harm in decreasing your physical activities for around 4 weeks if required for any reason. But we have to search for the reason of quadriceps pain. If it's trochanteric bursitis it can be treated with injection corticosteroid locally or with surgery. If you have sprain or tear in the muscle you have to get it confirmed with mri of thigh. I would like to advise a visit to radiology center nearby you and get it done. You need to consult expert orthopaedic surgeon with report. All the best.
