Sore Quads. Anyway to relieve this?

[ravel]

Hi all, I am newly diagnosed and one of the biggest problems I've been having is pain in my quads. Standing up, bending to pick something up, and sitting on my heels are all pretty painful. I've been trying to do stretches for my quads and I'm feeling very minimal results. Is there anything I can do to ease the pain?

Thanks!
