Yesterday for some reason my right knee was hurting really bad right before bed to the point where I can barely bend it. This morning was the same way. It is on the oustide of my right knee and very tender to the touch. It feels like there is a small lump there. I wanted to take off work but cant afford to so I am hobbling around. I did pin yesterday in my upper thigh and my leg day was friday. All I did was box squats for 225 for my working set 10 reps at a pace of 5 up and 5 down. Then I did hack squats for a working set of 180lbs as deep as I can go with the same speed of 5 up and 5 down. I have done this before so its not new. This does not include my working sets either. Any thoughts what this could be. I am trying to go to the doc today after work but wanted to get your thoughts on what it could be or ideas to remedy. Until this is gone to leg workouts. I can put pressure on it but just hurts to bend it.

Anything of any significance happen the few days prior to this? It could be aggravation of a bone spur, quick partial dislocation of the patella, or even just inflammation of the tissues inside the knee from being at the wrong angle on your movements. Mine can swell from standing too long and get painfully stiff.

Sounds like there is some possible edema and/or swelling caused by the ester traveling down to the knee. See the doc for sure.

This is what I thought right away as well....How far up in the quad was the shot?
I applied about 3/4 up the thigh. went to the doc and she told me that it felt like it was bruised but no discoloration. she thought maybe it could be tendonitious but the pain that I should have should be below the knee not on the top and right of the cap. It feels better the more I walk on it and able to bend it more if I keep using it. She told me to keep trying to stretch it and take 800mg Ibuprofin, knee wrap, and cold compress every 20min. If the swelling is still there after 10 days she told me to get a MRI so see if there is any tendon tear, or swelling. I told her about the gear but she doesnt know anything about it really except for the fact did I know what I was doing and asked me was I overdoing it. I told her yeah I know the good and bad of it and no I was not overdoseing (500mg) but I know to her that is too much but for what I am doing that is nothing. She didnt think that where I put it at would cause anything but it is absorbed by the entire muscle not just the spot where applied. I know that. I know it wasnt a nerve. Had nerve damage before so I know its not that. If it was caused by the ester how long do you guys think it will be like this. No nothing out of the ordinary done to it or on it. the knee wrap does help me walk better but its a pain in the ass.

Exactly what I was thinking
Been off all week so far due to my leg and feel like a slob because of it. I am actually able to walk normally but still do not have full range of motion yet and still swollen. Its not warm to the touch anymore and no pain but like I stated still cant bend leg all the way and still swollen. I have an MRI scheduled next Tuesday. We will see. I will be going back to the gym tomorrow however for chest and sautrday for arms and sunday for shoulders. I will just do everything sitting just to make sure there is not any unnecessary pressure put on it incase it would cause more damage.
