My husband tore is quad muscle and had surgery on Tuesday to have it repaired. All the doctor said to him was don t add pressure and I will see you in 2 weeks gave him some pain killers and lovenox injections. My husband says the pain is unbearable, now he does get out of bed and comes down 7 stairs to the living room apparently he tore the muscle and the doctor says he had to reattach it should he be in this much pain it has been 5 days
In my opinion yes partial tear can cause extreme pains unlike complete tear which is painless reattachment is the only option try to keep knee in extended position (passive) you can try a stronger painkiller like tramadolGood Luck
