What Causes Stiffness In The Thighs And Knees?
I was helping a co-worker push a car out of the snow and my right leg felt like it was kicked in the side, but it was not. today when i woke up my leg from my pelvis to my lower knee is VERY stiff and tense to the touch, its hard to apply pressure, its numb, does not really hurt at all. i am walking with a cane now it only really hurts if i push on my leg between the top of my knee and pelvis

Hi,
The symptoms that you depict after doing strenuous work are indicating towards disc problem. but usually that has pain in the back. the second possibility is that you have hurt yourself,
First take rest, do not lift any heavy weight,
take analgesics thrice daily
keep leg elevated
see if this gives relief in a day or two if not you will then need to consult your doctor to diagnose the condition and treat appropriately
