Rest
Rest
Significant pain that keeps you up at night and/or makes it so you can't find any comfortable position indicates something problematic is going on.
You should rest, and possibly seek medical consultation.
Pain like this could be a symptom of fracture/bone break, bone bruise, tears, etc.
In addition to rest and medical consultation some at home remedies that can help:
Ice
Heat
Elevate
Light Compression
Already been resting?
If you've already been resting ask yourself this: does rest help get rid of the pain? Like, if you rest for a few days or weeks is the pain gone?
If yes: re-evaluate what you're doing when you get back to running.
80% of running injuries occur and recur because of overtraining. If you're feeling good when you rest and then the pain comes back you need to re-evaluate how much you're running when you get back out there and each week.
If you’ve already rested and that helps the pain check out how to re-evaluate your running
Here’s what to do next
Hi!👋🏻
I’m Dr. Ali
I help women train for and finish runDisney races when they’ve had an injury.
I knew I wanted to help people from a young age, originally thinking I wanted to be a physician and realizing as a Sophomore in high school that I actually wanted to be a physical therapist. And through the years that has progressed to including a personal trainer and nutrition coach to help my clients reach their running goals after being injured.
Originally from Massachusetts I left to go to college and grad school at Ithaca College where I received my Doctor of Physical Therapy degree (DPT). After working a few years in Massachusetts and Rhode Island in outpatient orthopedic clinics I moved to Las Vegas where I currently work and live with my husband, Royal and our dog, Levi.
When I’m not working you can find me reading Harry Potter, at Disney (or wishing I was), crocheting Amigurumi, or running and walking around my neighborhood.
