Dr. Steve,

I get a cramp on the lower rib on my right rib cage everytime I run. No matter how much I hydrate, it always starts after a mile or so. It's not debilitating, I run thru it. But annoying and wondering if there is anything I can do for it.


Thanks,
hammer

no one, to my satisfaction, has ever totally explained the "Side Stitch"...since it's on your right side, it may be slightly confirmatory of the theory that the pain is caused by tension on the ligaments holding up the liver.

The most consistent "cure" for side stitches recommended on running sites is to purse your lips when you breathe during an episode, and to make sure you're taking DEEP breaths when you run to avoid the diaphragm remaining too elevated for too long when you run taking shallow breaths.

The good news is that it usually doesn't last long, and it goes away never to return after you pass through some imaginary barrier in your running. If I find something definitive I'll write back.

your pal,



steve


nothing very scholarly, but typical of what I found on the net:
http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_5/227.shtml

I'm not sure I buy the "spasm of the diaphragm" theory...seems you wouldn't be able to breathe at all if that were the case. However, it could be spasm of the attachment of the diaphragm to the chest wall.

I think this is what has happened. I've gotten thru the barrier to the other side and it seems to be gone now. I ran 9.5 last week and had no pain, I'll try 10 tomorrow and don't expect anything else. Thanks for the advice anyway Dr. Steve.

Do you have your period when you're running?
