#239 When can I run with stitches?

from Doc On The Run Podcast · host Dr. Christopher Segler

If you have an accident and cut the front of your leg open, you may have to have stitches to sew the skin back together. Of course, most doctors will probably tell you that you should avoid exercise until your skin fully heals and the stitches are removed. Depending upon the location of the stitches, it could take two or three weeks for the skin to heal. Most runners don't want to wait two or three weeks with no running while waiting for stitches to be removed. Today on the Doc On The Run podcast, we're talking about when you can run if you have stitches.
