sometimes you can aggravate a muscle injury if you've worked it too hard or injured it in the past but haven't allowed yourself time to heal completely. i get this sometimes in my biceps when i curl too often. it's just an intense soreness type of feeling when i put a load on the muscle.
a less common cause could be an overdevelopment of some muscle groups to the detriment of others. the imbalance sometimes from an over-developed hamstring muscle will hurt a less developed quad. this is uncommon, but is possible among athletes.
