Anyone ever tore their quad?

Someone in church said that they think their 14 year old grand daughter tore her quad and had a knot the size of a lemon in her thigh. That sounds horrible. I tore the muscle around my ribcage doing shrugs one time, well actually seperated it, heard it pop, and that hurt for two weeks everytime I breathed. I can't imagine walking with a torn quad.

I havent personally, bicep and subscap is the only ive torn so far hopefully thats it. One of my professors had a bodybuilding friend that was walking across his front porch with 80 pound bags of quick crete on his shoulders and he fell through the old wooden porch and tore both his rectus femorus's i cant imagine how painful that would be he was in a wheel chair for like 6 weeks .

She goes to the doc tomorrow. My son went fishing with her brother yesterday and I got to see the knot through her shorts. It pretty high up so I just told her to point and its is about 6 inches from the top of her quad about 8 inches wide and at least 4 inches thick. It was horrible. I felt very sorry for her. It looked like she had a fanny pack in her shorts no joke. I suspect surgery is coming, but Im gonna call and check on her tomorrow. She's very athletic and man this would be a horrible obstacle to overcome for anyone.

My brother tore all four of his quadraceps from his knee playing soccer he was shreiking at the top of his lungs all the way to the hospital. He was out for months with loys of physical therapy he never played soccer the same again. What was her mechanism of injury because a knot sounds more like a subdural hematoma which is still a bitch but not quite as bad as a tear. sorry medic in the house all injuries draw my curiosity
