Quad Injury...?

[Hello]

i play Varsity softball and just resently my upper quad has been bothering me...the pain only comes when i am running full speed and it hurts on the left side on the front of my leg...when i walk it hurts at the back of my leg on the left side but on the lower part of my leg...(when i say left side i mean on the inside of my leg....)

It has just recently been hurting in the back of my leg, before it just was sore on the front of my leg...

1 week ago i got hit by the softball pitching machine close to the upper part of my knee but not close enough to were my knee hurts... whitch was set at 60mph....i do have bruising from the ball, but it is starting to go away and doesnt hurt much...

if you have any ideas on what it is or what to do please help i am a soph and i made the varsity as a starting catch...so i really need to heal...and fast!!!!


ps. we have been playing in cold weather until just recently....and i have been trying my best to stretch...if that helps any...

High hamstring pull, or slightly pulled groin....If its a pull be careful streching too much...Can injure it even more...Warm up properly before streching, ice the pain and honestly you should be resting....Utilize crutches while at home and try to let it heal...

im a soccer player and that sounds like something that happened to me.i had pulled my hamstring in a play off game. the doc said not to do anything.well i played in the rest of the play off games and the championship game.my hamstring and leg hurt really bad every time i kicked the ball,ran,walked,jogged,or any kind of movement.we had lost by 1 point in triple overtime.well i hope you dont have a pulled hamy.the doc said i made it worst doing what i did.i would call or go to the doc. good luck and good luck winning those softball games.
