Subject: Fell off bike...now quad pain

Two days ago, I fell off my bike at a standstill after a 10 mile easy bike with my first clipless shoes and pedals.  I just managed to unclip as the bike went down and barely got my foot down.  Rested for about 10 minutes and went out for a hard mile.  No pain, except for my pride, and my scraped knee.

Next morning, it was killing me, on the outside part of my quad only.  Went for a massage, been taking NSAI (Aleve) and icing like crazy.  Trying to limit movements that hurt.

 I am thinking about taking some prescription AI that I have.

 I'm not looking for a medical opinion, but just hoping to hear if I'm missing anything.

Is the pain muscular in nature?  If so, give it a couple more days to work itself out.  If it feels like bone then get thee to a doctor for xrays.
