Hello, Two days ago, I was at a rehab facility to be evaluated for a job. I was told to squat. I did with now problem. Then the md had me go down on one knee and get up and repeated with other side. I then had to squat down and pick up 50 lbs of wait and out on a shelf several time. The repeat with 20 lbs. I did more squats in other areas of testing. My thighs were shaking and she told me I had muscle fatique. Since then I have had severe thigh pain with standing from a sitting position and vice versa. I even have pain in my thighs when I just move them in general. I haven t taken anything for the pain as it is intermittent. But it wakes me up at night when I move. I am sure I have strained the muscles. What would you recommend and about how long will it take to where it does not hurt to stand up, sit down or just stretch my legs. I have tried a hot bath to relax the muscles. The pain is non radiating. There is no redness, swelling, and is located only in the front.
Hello, Welcome to the magical world of health care, I went through your query, and your pain is muscular in origin, and coming from the sprained muscles due to your activity. Now first thing first, REST. Analgesics. Time to heal for 3 weeks. I hope my advice would have been useful, in decision-making regarding your treatment, still if you have any clarifications or doubts feel free to contact back. Thanks.
