I was running Sunday and hurt something in my left foot. It originally started as a sharp pain that ran laterally on the outside of my foot, but now seems to be a little close to the heel. Since Sunday it constantly hurts whenever I put pressure on it.

I figured it would go away after a day or so, but hasn't. I'd rather not waste my time getting x-rays and whatnot if I don't have to, but I also want to be able to get back to running ASAP. How long do you normally wait to go to the doctor for something like this.
