Quadriceps Strain: Quadriceps femoris muscle group is Latin for "four headed muscle of the femur". It is one of the most important muscle groups contributing to upright stance and human locomotion. Located in front of the thigh, vastus laterals, medialis and intermedium extend the knee as rectus femoris flexes the hip. Quads attach to the knee cap and when strained in explosive kicking sports cause pain and spasm.

Varies: There are a variety of possible causes, did you injure it? If not in could potentially involve an abnormality in the patella-femoral joint such as chondromalacia or a maltracking issue. Don't hesitate to be see for an accurate diagnosis. Physical therapy could potentially be quite helpful.
