What should i do if my right quad has bruising and i am experiencing sharp pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Contused Quads: I assume you were struck in the high and it hurts. Muscles are very vascular. That speeds healing but lead to some internal bleeding when crushed. Use ice for the first day. Freeze a cup of water in plastic cup; massage the are with the protruding ice and peel the plastic as it melts. Massage for 10 or more minutes every four hour while awake. Next day use heat and liniment massage. Keep active.
