Hello,
You may use hot fomentation for the pain in quadriceps muscle. If there is relief in pain, then you may continue with hot fomentation. However, the pain does not decrease, you may need to consult your orthopedician for clinical assessment and investigations.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
