It sounds like : Tendinitis or arthritis. Let her try otc motrin, ace wrap and warm packs application for now. If pain gets worse and range of motion is decreased, she needs to see her dr for a thorough exam. Take care!

Quadriceps: This sounds like a quadriceps tendinitis or strain. This can be treated with rest, stretching, and nsaids. It should resolve with time. Google quadriceps stretching for some good exercises. Hope this helps. www.oano.com.
