I have a question about an issue (maybe) in my quad. Every time I foam roll over my left quad, it feels like as if I am going over a stone or a hard object. This only occurs on my left quad about 3/4 down and I am fairly sure it is in between my rectus femoris and vastus lateralis (not outside of my quad, but middle of the outside).
