Stomach Pain whilst running and even walking!?

Question

I haven't had stitches before and i am definitely not unfit but i have suddenly started getting sharp pains whenever i run (i run regularly 3 times a week) and i can feel it sometimes when i walk. It is really painful and can happen on either side below my ribs.

I am a 13 year old girl and have been suffering from shin splints for a year and a half- but this couldn't be to do with it could it?

Please help!!

What could it be? Please help

Answer 1

Uhm, sounds like a side stitch to me.

Answer 2

MANY people get that when they run, especially if they don't stretch. I wouldn't worry about it to much.  

Answer 3

I think it could be stiches. I used to run until I got disabled and I remember that pain. But to make sure check it out at the doctor. Shin splints..poor u. Hope you get better.

Answer 4

sounds like a stitch but you said you don't get them...

probably muscle strain then, take a break off running for a few days and when you think it's better start running and if it comes back it's probably a stitch

if it is muscle strain you need to stretch before you run and this could help prevent more pains

Answer 5

Are you eating 3 hours or less before you run? if you are its a stitch.
