No pain but cannot straighten leg

Hello, today is the 4th day since this has started.

On day 1, I woke up with the inability to straighten my leg. The pain felt both muscular and something else, possibly joint pain, whenever I would straighten my leg. This was odd because before sleep, my legs were completely fine.

On day 3, I started stretching my leg and that has helped a lot with pain from where my knee is. I can now walk with no pain. But my leg still cannot straighten.

When straightening my leg, I feel as if something is physically stopping it from completely straightening it.

I feel that this is serious and would like opinions or guidance on this.

    #3...guaranteed to straighten your leg. Make sure you scream into a pillow and that everyone else has left the house. Gravity is the law and the law must be obeyed. Then try it with ankle weights.
