I have a knot on the outside of my thigh that hurts to the touch from a recent fall i also had a sprained knee that seems to be getting better?

Muscle Spasm: Trigger points are bands of taut muscle areas that hurt when pressed upon and radiate to other areas than just the painful spot that is pressed upon. Most times stretching and massage of that area relieves these spots, however sometime they continue and need to be addressed by your doctor. If this doesn't resolve it or touch doesn't hurt, consider this being sciatica and get spine evaluation.
