When do injured runners really have to stop running?

The other day I got a call from a patient who had an injury and briefly she explained her scenario and then she asked me the million dollar question, “Do I really have to stop running to get better? More importantly, is it possible that I might actually have to stop running forever because of this injury?” That’s the big concern we all have as runners. It is a pretty common question when runners get injured. So today I’m going to share my opinion about when people should stop running and not stop running. All of the information I’m going to present to you today is based upon on a lecture that I first presented to doctors at the International Foot & Ankle Foundation meeting at the annual medical conference in Lake Tahoe.
