Please help i have sudden sharp pain in thigh just above knee?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Quad tendon rupture: If there was a sudden snap and you are having difficulty extending your knee i would worry about a quad tendon rupture, although you are quite young for it. Most likley it is a tendinitis.
