leg ache
 

I was just wondering if maybe I pulled a muscle or something in my leg. Whenever I stretch out my leg straight it hurts just below my knee on the right side. It doesn't hurt when my knee is bent or when i'm just sitting on the couch but hurts when my knee is outstretched.

It sounds like you could have pulled a muscle, yes. Have you tripped/fallen/landed funny/worked out/lifted weight etc recently?

No, i haven't done any of that yet my leg still hurts

Have you had cramp in the area maybe? sometimes that can leave the muscle feeling sore.

Not sure. But I realized that I did fall the other day when I was riding my bike. I hit the curb wrong and fell. And I drove today and it hurt when I moved my leg to brake.

It may be that the muscles are a bit sore from when you fell then as the trauma could've caused a bit of damage to the muscle fibres or some bleeding to have occurred within them which will just make it a bit achey and then more painful when you put strain on that area. Putting heat pads on the area when it is aching may help. Also something like Deep Heat OR Ibuprofen gel over the area may help as long as you haven't got any medical reasons why you can't use them or have skin which is sensitive to them.

ok thanks
