Got pierced by a broken bottle 2 days ago - 5 stiches under my kneecap. it is not swollen or bruised. is it okay for me to go running with stitches?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
When to rest: Gosh. I am very uncomfortable with you resuming running this shortly after stitches were done for your laceration. I cannot imagine that your physician would want you to risk reopening the wound this early in healing.
