I have a quad strain and every morning l wake up stiff with some pain in my calfs. what is proper sleeping position?

Varies: There is not a "perfect" sleeping position. But many find that sleeping on your side with your knees and hips flexed holding a pillow between the arms and another between the knees to be the most comfortable. You might want to consider a general medical checkup to evaluate your complaints as well.
