A really hurt leg

 

Question: A really hurt leg

I played rugby yesterday, and I picked the ball and ran with it, and somebody hit me pretty hard. My right upper quadriceps was smashed up against someone's knee. I had to limp off the field. I could hardly walk, and a day later I can still hardly walk. This is obviously a muscle injury. My leg was all red the day before, but today I can't even see a bruise on it, though it is swollen. What is the fastest way to get my leg back to normal?

Answer:

Hi there

It looks like the fascia (the fleece surrounding the muscles)has been stripped or rolled up from the muscle. I would recommend a visit to an orthopedic surgeon.
