Well, let's just say the night did not go as planned to say the least!
Our plan was go meet at home, leave by 5:30pm and go to my softball game in Chillicothe (with Justin) - leave there, come home and play in the yard then ice cream or a treat and then Justin's bed time...
Instead, we made it to softball - but when the game started I was the first up to bat. Rob and Justin were still inside the bar because Justin spilled Rob's full Coke all over the table, Rob, etc. So I get up to bat and hit the first pitch pretty good - between the SS & 3rd over their heads....and still get thrown out at first. As soon as I started running both of my legs gave out. It's the muscles on the front of my thighs - both of them! I barely made it back to the dugout and immediately sat down by the fence...I couldn't even go down the 4 steps in the dugout at first. I was sweating and felt like I was going to throw up it hurt so bad. It felt like my muscles ripped away from my leg or something.... So I went and laid down on the bleachers and Rob got the car and we went home. Super long drive because every time he braked or accelerated or turned it hurt so bad. It almost felt like a burning (like when you do squats) all the time and painful. So I came home and laid on the couch - Rob got me some 600 mg Ibprofeun I had left and then got me hot and cold compresses on it for a few cycles which helped dull the pain a little bit. I ended up sleeping on the couch because stairs were not an option. No fun at all. I do feel better this morning when I am sitting or laying, but as soon as I try to walk it hurts like crazy. On top of that, Justin was awake crying last night more than he was sleeping - no idea why! He was just fine, but would not go to sleep.
Has anyone ever had this happen in BOTH legs? I have NO idea how hitting the ball and running did this...like in the first 3 steps.
My husband of course was wonderful though - he took care of me and our crabby Justin who did not want to leave the ball field!
Hopefully this weekend will be more fun than last night was!!!!

are you saying the enitre fromt of both legs or can you pin point it to a specific area? are you bruised at all today? Do you have any bumps lumps or divots along the muscle?
It's not my whole leg, just above the knee and the worst pain starts about 6" above my knee and goes almost up to about 3" below the hip bone.
No bruising - my left leg hurts more than my right today and it is a little bigger than the right too. No bumps or divots - just feels larger than normal.
Any insight would be great! I am sure I don't need a doctor, but should I be using ice or warm on it or alternating both?
I guess with your legs hurting like that, you didn't make me a new neice or nephew last night?!?!
Yikes! I would go to a doctor, it can't hurt. Sorry to hear your anniversary was spent in pain :(
