Good medical help is the first step in treating an injury. There is a running
underground which can recommend local doctors who treat runners. Talk with some
long-term runners. Every injury requires special treatment and you want to
find the specialist who has successfully treated the greatest number
of similar problems.
Until you see a doctor you might want to supplement your diet with vitamin C,
which promotes healing. Take moderate amounts, 250-500 mg three times a day.
(Timed-release tablets of larger dosages are generally wasted in the intestine
where absorption is low.) Calcium is also important in healing; be
sure it's included in your diet.
