Description:
We've all had this one, a sudden sharp pain in the side of the upper abdomen at the base of the ribs. The side stitch typically strikes when you're really pushing yourself and fades quickly when you slow down or stop. The stitch is particularly common for new runners still adjusting to the rigors of running.
Likely causes:
The pain is caused by a spasm of the diaphragm, the muscle that controls your breathing. There are a number of possible reasons for this. If your breathing isn't controlled and disciplined, the diaphragm may be complaining. If you are running too soon after eating, your heavy stomach may literally be tugging at the ligaments connected to the diaphragm. Or you may simply be running too fast for your body's breathing machinery to keep up.
Remedy:
A stitch will usually go away quickly after just slowing down or stopping. If you're in a race or you just don't want to stop, however, you can often make it go away by bringing your breathing into careful control. Concentrate on belly breathing, pushing your belly out when you breathe in and relaxing it as you breathe out. Take deep breaths on the intake, and exhale suddenly, even noisily. To get the diaphragm to contract in rhythm with your steps, try to inhale and exhale as you land on your left foot. Strange but true, this can help prevent spasms by encouraging the diaphragm to bounce along in sync with your stride.
If the pain is just too much and you have to stop, try bending over and raising your knee on the stitch side while pressing your fingers deep into the painful area and tightening your stomach muscles. Or just walk while belly breathing. -
u will slip and fell down.Originally posted by Mospeada:If you run like this.....u will never get hurt liao

went for my jog at pasir ris park this evening, as with every sunday evening.
but there was a difference. when i started jogging, i felt stuffiness in my chest, and my breathing wasnt smooth, and i couldnt take deep breaths easily. i thought it would go away as i jog further, but it didnt! so obviously my jog became much more strenuous and tedious.
any diagnosis to offer? btw, i jog/run almost everyday, and have been doing so for quite some time. so i am quite confident i have achieved a certain level of fitness. but didnt jog yesterday.
thanks!

or is it due to haziness? -
shouldnt be - i dont usually have enuff sleep, but i still can run ok most of the time! and there wasnt much haze today leh...Originally posted by thoreldan:is it because u didnt sleep well for the past 1-2 days?

i want to find out the cause, cos there may be times when my performance matters, and i do not want such things to happen at those times! -
might be the 'feeling' deathscythe99 mentioned...Originally posted by wuming78:shouldnt be - i dont usually have enuff sleep, but i still can run ok most of the time! and there wasnt much haze today leh...

Is this the first time you are feeling this? Or you occassionally feel this way?Originally posted by wuming78:went for my jog at pasir ris park this evening, as with every sunday evening.

Sufficient rest, water intake, stretching before exercise, start off too fast etc will cause discomfort. BTW, how long is your run? Distance, timing(pace), at what stage of the run you are feeling this?
If you are feeling strange during the run, tried to run slower, or even do a walk and jog again later when you feel better.
everyone have some sort of problem with their body(nobody is perfect), it is knowing it and how to address it, that will put you in a better position to deal with it and live with it. -
After yesterday evening 1.5km swim, followed by 6-7km run, my kneecap sore again.
someone must hide my running shoes, to stop me from running. -
