Pain Management

I am an avid distance runner and decided to make the transition to triathlons. Recently I purchased a new road bike for training purposes. Right after the purchase, I aggressively climbed some of the steeper hills here in Arlington. A few days later, I had what I thought was lactic acid build-up in the area of my left leg above the knee. A week later, the pain is still there. The pain seems to move around the quad area. I cannot sleep on my stomach. There does not seem to be any swelling. I have not trained in a week. I don't plan on training (swimming, running or cycling) until this problem is resolved. Since the pain has not subsided in over a week, should I consult a physician, or just wait it out? I know I made a huge mistake by climbing too aggressively, too soon (before the muscles used for climbing had a chance to develop). Thank you in advance for any advice you can provide. Doug, Arlington
