How To Treat Painful Quad Muscle?

I hurt my quad muscle and it s been hurting for at least 4 weeks. I play soccer and I haven t played for 3 weeks. It s not feeling any better, it s actually hurting more and worse. I was wondering if you would know how bad it is and if I would need surgery?

Hi
Welcome to healthcaremagic
After going through your query I came to know that you are suffering from muscular pain in your quadriceps muscle.Treatment of it is rest and analgesics (diclofenac three times a day after meals). Muscle relaxant such as thiocolchicoside can be added Vitamin B-complex and Vitamin C supplementation can used to promote healing. It is unlikely to require surgery. You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it.Hope I have answered your query.If you have any further questions then don't hesitate to writing to us . I will be happy to help you.
