Should I get an MRI to tell me if I can run now?

One of the questions I often get from runners is whether or not they can get a clear indication that the overtraining injury has healed enough that they can start running.  This is most common with stress fractures and plantar plate injuries, and things like Achilles tendonitis. All of these injuries, regardless of which specific one it is, whether it is a tendon, a ligament, or a bone, you want to know if you can start running and if it is healed. And it makes sense that you would want to get an MRI. Should I get an MRI to tell me if it is okay to run now?  Well, that is a great question and that is what we're talking about today on the Doc On The Run Podcast.
