What Causes Bruise On Thighs After Moving Heavy Furniture?

I booved some large furniture 5 days ago, using my legs/ thighs as leverage to walk the furniture. Ever since, the front of both thighs feel severely bruised, but with no bruises showing. Slightly red, extremely tender to touch and when walking, and now small knots the size of chick peas in each thigh, in the sorest center of bruised spot. I have never experienced this before. Any thoughts? The thought of blood clots has crossed my mind…?

Considering the history and the physical findings you are explaining, the most probable diagnosis seems to be Myositis. usually it occurs due to unknown factors, but trauma or heavy work has been attributed to cause it. Ice the affected area, avoid walking or walk with some support (cane, walker, etc.). Also, consult a specialist of musculoskeletal pain who can prescribe you certain anti inflammatory drugs which can reduce the swelling and pain.
