Rest or have it seen: If you are a runner then you should know that it is better not to ignore pain. It is a sign that something maybe wrong. You should rest the leg until it stops hurting or see your physician and get checked.

Ankle Wrankle: Why not rest until that "little " pain resolves. If not, you might wish you had. No good comes from stressing injured joints.
