A member asked:
When i stretch out my right leg the top of my knee feels like its being overstretched, what could this be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Thats very normal --: To have that feeling on front of the lower end of the thigh (above the knee), as the quadriceps muscles are being contracted to allow the leg to be extended (stretched). So need to worry and be happy.
