Do i need to see the dr for a quadricep tear during sprinting?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Quad tear: Quadriceps muscle tears can usually heal. Often however the muscle will be weaker and less flexible which can lead to symptoms and or retears. Pt can help prevent this. With that said, it is unclear how you know the diagnosis for sure and so i would suggest seeing a doc to confirm the diagnosis or to give a proper one if wrong.
