pulled quad

[Deleted User]

Hi all, am new to this, but am after some advice from fellow runners. I have torn my left quad and is really painful. Am due to run my first marathon in May and this has halted my training, am so gutted as was doing really well. How long should I rest for? Would a thigh support help?  Dr just said take anti inflammatories, which I have but only takes the edge off. Tried running through it, but prob not a good idea!!
