  • If you ran a marathon last year but are struggling with 3 miles you might consult a doctor, that just doesn't sound normal.

  • I had something similar happen with my foot, I strained it but kept working out until it was so bad that I couldn't walk right anymore and pain was hitting other areas because my gait was off.
