@naturegirl5 thanks for your reply. I’ll take a look at the link you provided.
It appears that the stretching and foam rolling will be helpful- as well as I’m adopting a protocol to wake up my stuck fascia and muscles by doing that before I have any pain. I’m planning to continue my workouts including barre, Pilates, water fitness, and strength classes- along with pickleball and walking-(one of those a day!)
I’m just fascinated by this finding since I’ve had the hardest time describing the irritated quads to clinicians. My rheumatologist met with me just a day ago, so I’m just beginning to look into it. But feel I’m heading in the right direction now.
