Most running injuries respond well to R.I.C.E and take about two to three weeks to heal. It's time to visit a sports medicine professional if your pain lasts longer than that, or if you have any of the following symptoms:
- severe pain in a joint or bone
- pain radiating to another area of the body
- injury is very painful to the touch
- significant swelling at the injury site
- difficulty moving the injured part.
- numbness, tingling or weakness in the injured area
