Painful tenderness and swelling in Quad. right above the knee?
My boyfriend seemed to suddenly have knee pain and tenderness in his Quad. right above the knee cap in the tendon. He said it started last night and has slowly gotten worse, till now it is extremely painful to walk on and is swollen. He cant recall any way he could have hurt it, no hitting it or having it pop or anything. He used to run a lot, but hasn't in a few months.
Does anyone know what it might be?
Believe it or not - you can injure yourself during sleep!! I suggest he see a doctor. They will do an x-ray and maybe (hopefully) a MRI or CAT Scan. He could have pulled a muscle/tendon and that is really painful - I know.
Since he has an extreme amount of pain on weight bearing, I suggest doing some ice on for 20 minutes then heat for 20 minutes - alternating. Then see a doctor. He could also wrap it with an ace bandage until a doctor is seen.
If he gets good results from the above and doesn't see a doctor, don't be surprised. Getting men into a doctor's office is quite difficult for most :)
Hope this helps.

That sounds like the tendon for his kneecap has done a shortening job on him, something they do occasionally, and it will be painful until he releases it so it can get back to it's normal length. Here is a good method to help get that done:
Kneecap: (Use a chair that has no cross members on it.)
While sitting start with your leg out in front of you extended out to a comfortable length. Wrap your hands around it so you have a good two inches working area. Place your thumbs about two inches behind your knee and press into the top middle of your leg hard and hold. Relax. After 30 seconds, slowly slide that leg back until it is pulled up under the chair as far as you can make it go. Then release the pressure but hold your leg there for one minute longer.
