1. Hernia or Torn Muscle - What kinda doc to see?

   rdnkjdi replied to rdnkjdi's topic in General Nursing

   Ooops - sorry. Um - well without giving "medical" advice per se, knowing I'm going to run a 5K this weekend - on a scale of 1 - 10, how hard should I push to see a doc prior to the 5K (10 being knocking down the doors...)
