Injuries... To see a doctor or not?

It's always interesting to decide how to handle an injury.  There is that question of - should I see a doctor, or wait and see what it does?  As a guy, you would think my standard response would be " 'eh, we will see how it feels tomorrow."  And in general, you would be right.  However, with the Marathon looming in the future, and my realization that a couple of weeks of NOT running could make the difference in being able to do it or not - It's not the case.  So yesterday morning, right as the office opened, I gave my doctor a call.  4 hours later, I get a call back from the nurse.

"Stay off it, take it easy and see how it feels in a week or so."
