#200 Should an injured runner be patient?

I just got an email recently from someone who is a runner and one of the things he asked, he said, "Should I be patient, and are the chances good that the pain will subside after four to six weeks on its own, of just not running?” Well, that's a good question, but that depends.  The first thing that you have to think about when a doctor tells you, you just should take off running, and stop activity, stop doing everything for four to six weeks, you have to ask yourself several questions. Today on the Doc On The Run podcast, we're talking about whether or not an injured runner should just be patient.
