I got a side stitch while running one time, 2 days later it still hurts?

Question

I was running after a workout, and i was at 1.95 in distance, almost 2 miles, and i just wanted to finish the last mile, but i had this side stitch on the right side right above the waist. It still hurts, 2 days later, same spot. Only when it stretches, is pushed on, and anything else that moves it. What is the problem? I want to workout later today, but I'm not sure if that's a good idea...neither would be running after the workout?

Answer 1

side stitches usually go away after you stop running and push up on it for a minute or two...if it still hurts two days later, it is probably not a side stitch.  i wouldn't reccomend working out today, take it easy today, and if it continues to hurt tomorrow, i'd see a doctor.
