Q. A 20-year-old man comes to the clinic with right-sided leg pain for the past two weeks. He is a college athlete who has been recently enrolled in a running program. He describes a dull, aching pain along the inner part of the lower leg that worsens with running and improves with rest. His vitals are normal. On physical examination, there is tenderness along the distal two-thirds of the medial tibia on the right side. There is no swelling, redness, or warmth, and the ankle joint has a full range of motion. What is the next step in management for this patient?
