What Is Extreme Pain In The Thigh Radiating To The Knee Suggestive Of?

I got a sudden pain in my upper right thigh. I can t walk up or down steps. I cannot bend at the knee, because I get an excruciating pain in my thigh that radiates to my knee. I have not fallen. It has not improved at all with heat or ice. It feels bruised to the touch. What could this be?
