As a runner, I’ve had side pains/camps a LOT when I started running but after my 2nd month of intense training I basically stopped having them, I have yet to have a cramp for more than 6 months

[@KKSuited]

This happens every time I run long distance. Usually around 2 or 3 miles at a brisk pace. I used to never really go past that distance. Then one day at 25 years old I decided to not just push through the pain but started striding it out like I was running a 400 or 800. Ended up running 8 miles before I stopped, and I was barely breathing hard after. My heart rate was lower than it used to be at 1/3 of the distance. Those endorphins are serious business. Keep pushing.

He said the child was always screaming and crying in agonizing pain, so the nurse that was with the people in that room comes every once in a while to massage and move the childs "leg" wich would help him to go back to sleep. After a while he asked the nurse how is that possible, and she said that humans have some receptors in the body even if there are no limbs there and that they can feel it in some way.

@@mattmerced1148 oh trust me, i've had many people (yes, even doctors) tell me chronic pain isn't real and i'm just exaggerating or want to have an excuse to complain or whatever. i could make a long list of things people like that said to me

[@TheGhostInThePhoto]

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@mattmerced1148 The same way my parents do so. It can be hard for people to understand the pain of another, since they can’t feel that pain themselves and thus can’t confirm it. This can unfortunately lead to some people disparaging others in pain, choosing to instead believe that the pain must be all in the other’s head. As I’ve always said of my parents, pain is imaginary until it happens to them. Even doctors can fall into this unfortunate way of thinking, and may consider the pain or other discomfort of another to be imaginary. I’ve got chronic pain (and fatigue) myself. Between the constant pain all over my body and the frequent headaches and migraines, among other issues, my body isn’t really holding up well. My parents mock me if I complain, but seek medical attention whenever they get the slightest of aches. It’s unfortunate, but it’s not like there’s anything I can do about it. At least I can push through it all. There are some who just can’t, and are completely disabled by their pain or fatigue. For those people, disrespecting their suffering can be more painful for them than their physical condition.

You can avoid side stitches when running if you stretch properly. Point both arms up, then bend one arm at the elbow, and grasp that elbow with the other hand and pull towards that side and count to ten while leaning sideways towards the arm that's doing the pulling. Count to ten, then switch sides. Do this three times while walking.

As a collegiate runner, listen to your body when it’s hurting. Do as I say not as I do😂. My senior year of high school I tore my ATF ligament in my ankle during my XC season before the state meet.

But I ended up a state champion that season. Felt worth it but now that I’m over 5 months removed from the times that injury initially happened and I still have extreme pain in the ankle when running on it.

The soreness you get after a workout is not caused by a buildup of lactic acid. During a set, lactic acid builds up which causes pain. This pain immediately goes away when you stop. While working out, you cause small tears in your muscle fibers, this is DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness). Your body will repair it and come back stronger.

Another thing causes chronic pain: Connective Tissue Disorders That's because the lack of collegen gives the joints less cution and the movement of joints causes pain. Plus hyer extending your joints, which your jonts will do naturally, causes pain too. Sadly, chronic pain makes you used to the pain and able to do daily activities with the pain not bothering you. So what would normally be a 9 or 10 in someone without chronic pain, is a 1-4 for us. My pain tolerance were so strong that when I had kidney stones, I put on an ice pack, took some aleve, and went to sleep. It hurt badly but I managed to get through it.

Drink water before the workout that's key.

my high school pe teacher : “if you keep exercising the pain will go away” *continues to feel the pain for 2 consecutive weeks*

[@Cat-lv9hk]

Thx for telling this! I literally always wonder why those parts mean when it hurts.

[@daivonclark5151]

In my experience, the side stitches are the result of the desynchronization of arm swings to leg strides. The force from the ground should travel up the leg, through the torso, and then terminates and disperses into the arm swing. when desynchronized, the energy isnt dispersed properly through the arm and instead terminates in the torso. Ouch. Another important detail is how the force travels up the legs. Side stitches could also be due to excesive heel striking. Heel striking causes the energy to travel up your body through the improper channels. Forefoot striking (the correct way) directs the force through your elastic muscles and tendons. Together, the arch of the foot, achillies tendon and thigh muscles, act like a spring mechanism, guiding the energy up your back muscles and into the arms to be dispersed into a the swing. Heel striking on the other hand, bypasses this whole spring system. The force travels through the heel, up directly through the shin bones (causing shin splints) and then up directly through your internal organs where the arms have a harder time dispersing the energy. Thats because it came through the improper channels. Ofcourse the connective tissue is gonna hurt. The undispersed energy is basically ripping it apart. Ouch. Hope that makes sense.

Thanks, you basically explained my life as someone with stress induced asthma

[@dizzymartian96]

@XExoticSaviorX bro you can put your mind to anything I had asthma and still did stuff don't make no excuse if it's something you want to do 😂but also I couldn't do the practice at basketball didn't make the team cause of my asthma 😂

[@bamaboitube8572]

This is creepy considering I went on a run today and had pain in the exact same spot 😂

I was looking for this kinda info for a while but I didn't find it. Now suddenly this came in front of me. So fascinating.

[@imurdad8359]

A side stitch is a type of cramp that most commonly shows up on the lower sides of your ribs, an easy way to get rid of one while running is to focus your breathing with your pace

I've always noticed if you Tighten your gut or like flex your abs while running than it helps a lot with the pain an helps prevent it from happening, I've always thought it was my organs not being use to moving so much so fast

The main question is "why does ny stomach hurt when i run?" But he goes rambling about chronic pains and other completely unrelated things

[@roshnisasi2289]

yes

[@Ducks532]

Well as a runner I’ll just say that when you’re running it’s mental so you can embrace the pain or just say you’re gonna quit and slow down

[@vocalsam3608]

I've got this at 14 or 15. I've played a sport for a club for a while and for some unknown reason my abdominal side hurts. I now understand why it reacts like that.

[@prashamsha888]

Finally got answer to years long questions 😊

[@ParadigmShifted]

Another possible cause of side stitches is a build up of lactic acid within your abdominal muscles. I saw someone mention stretching properly beforehand- buildup of lactic acid is a result of not stretching.

[@archanasharma2495]

The biggest question I had since years and I never cared to find out the answer. Thank you Infographics

[@jedrickyromacaranas8081]

finally an answer for my questions

[@duqwatee1571]

FINALLY! The answer to all my mysterious abdominal pain!

[@mrnoogle8961]

To avoid cramps during a run i always breath in with my nose and out with my mouth using a pattern, usually a beat from a song helps

[@jedidr4918]

I used to get stitches all the time from running and thought it was cause I was a little overweight for my age, till I changed to in through the nose and out through the mouth and it disappeared.

[@dernorsebassist4252]

If I did my breathing to the songs I listen to I'd hyper ventilate. Serious point this is actually super helpful and I find I can run 25% longer and with less pain. I usually do it with the strides I'm doing (in every two, out for three)

[@boogie7525]

Yup! As a hunter jumper, I get a side stitch after 20 minutes of riding! usually I have to ride through the pain if it isnt too bad. I have tried to workout more and to get more fit to help this pain.

[@education846]

I play football and this explained my pain after lifting weights then getting big hit a little while later. Thanks a lot! :)

[@antonioecruz]

I’m in medical school and they told us that it’s because the liver hangs off the diaphragm from the falciform ligament. And when you run each step makes your liver jolt and yank on the ligament. That’s why it’s always on your right side

[@evil_onyxx_jr.]

#16 happens to me whenever I do exercises that involve running like playing football. Was really curious that was why I decided to take a look at this when i got the notification. Kudos to the infographics show. I love you guys
