What is this injury? Is this injury serious? When can I run again? How much time will it take to get better? Should I get an MRI or Xray? Should I see a specialist? Can I still run on this or should I cross train? How does strength and mobility work fit into my schedule? Is this pain normal? This consult could go in any direction!
