How long can i wait with muscle pain to see if it goes away without seeing a doctor?

Depends: Depends on your pain tolerance and what happened to cause the pain? Significant trauma to tear a muscle ? Can't move? Severe pain? Numbness and tingling? See dr. Sooner. Just over worked? Wait a few days. Remember that bones and muscles and joints heal themselves and stay healthy by moving -- normally. Don't limp, grunt, groan or hold your breath as you move about. -- makes it worse.

2 wks: In general most minor muscle soreness should be gone in a few days. Any muscle pain lasting longer than two weeks should be seen.
