If the sensation of pain experienced by some people in the right side when walking or running is short-term and moderate, does not cause significant discomfort, then its causes, as a rule, lie in the plane of physiology. Such pain occurs only occasionally and goes away spontaneously. For example, in adolescents, this phenomenon can be observed during the period of active growth of the spine, and in women, discomfort may occur during menstruation or during pregnancy. But there are a number of signs of pain in the right side, which intensifies with active movements, walking, running, which are regarded as indicators of pathological conditions of the body. Such pain can appear regularly, with a certain frequency, often tends to increase in intensity, and is also accompanied by other unpleasant symptoms.
- Calculous cholecystitis – right side hurts when walking
- Bends in the gallbladder cavity - when walking, the right side hurts under the ribs
- Inflammation of the appendix - the right side of the abdomen hurts when walking or moving
- Pathology of vena cava syndromes – pain in the left side when walking or running
It is important to have information about why it hurts in the right side, how to find out the source of the pain in order to recognize the signs of a developing pathology in time and take action. But the types and types of pain on the right side of the abdomen are very diverse. In addition to the fact that there may be a nagging pain in the right abdomen under the ribs, aching, sharp cutting, throbbing or cramping pain in the right side along the ribs, dull, stabbing pain, one should pay attention to secondary symptoms. With diseases of the stomach or gall bladder, liver, pain in the right side can be felt after eating, after a while or immediately after eating. If your right or left side hurts when walking fast, the causes of such painful sensations can be completely varied, ranging from diseases of the gallbladder to pathologies and abnormalities in the liver. If the right side hurts immediately after eating, if there is a pulling or aching on the right side of the abdomen immediately after eating, breakfast, lunch or dinner, then the problem most likely lies in the pathology of the stomach or gall bladder. With pathologies of the bile ducts in the body, nausea, nausea, a feeling of nausea may appear in the body, it may lead to gagging and even vomiting. A bitter taste in the mouth, dull or mild pain in the right hypochondrium, a feeling of nausea, a slight increase in body temperature, most often these are symptoms of pathologies of the liver, gall bladder or bile ducts.
Improper breathing
If you don't breathe properly when walking, running, or exercising quickly, it can cause pain. This is explained by human physiology: when little oxygen enters the diaphragm muscle, a spasm occurs, felt in the upper abdomen, usually on the right.
Shallow rapid breathing is the cause of very weak excursions of the diaphragm. In this regard, blood flow to the heart decreases and stagnation occurs in the liver, which grows and causes pain in the right side after walking, running and other stress. It is not difficult to get rid of or prevent such pain - you need to breathe correctly: inhale and exhale every two or three steps. It is important to inhale through your nose and exhale through your mouth.
Right side hurts after workout

Pain in the side after heavy physical exertion.
Pain in the side is common to many athletes - runners, skiers, skaters, and especially those involved in race walking. Athletes note dull pain in the right hypochondrium - in the liver area or in the left - in the spleen area, usually occurring after great physical exertion.
Pain in the side, or, as they are sometimes called, “stabbing in the side”, “stabbing in the hypochondrium,” can be caused by various reasons: excessive tension at the very beginning of the distance, improper breathing, training immediately after eating. The appearance of pain in the left hypochondrium is sometimes explained by the overflow of the spleen with blood, and pain in the right hypochondrium by the overflow of blood in the liver, which, acting as a blood depot, swells and thereby creates a painful sensation.
Frequent pain in the hypochondrium during great sports exertion, apparently, sometimes depends on incorrect breathing. This often happens in young men with weak respiratory muscles, which do not provide sufficient expansion of the chest and thereby impair breathing and blood circulation. As a result of this, stagnation occurs in the portal vein, the liver swells, its capsule stretches, which causes pain in the right side.
Pain in the right side can also occur due to disturbances in the functioning of the heart, which is sometimes observed during great physical stress. In this case, the appearance of the same symptoms of blood stagnation in the venous system is significant.
The painful processes occurring in the liver tissue do not give any sensation of pain, since the liver tissue itself is devoid of pain sensitivity; the capsule covering the liver has it. This is why an enlarged liver, for example due to illness or circulatory disorders, entails stretching of the capsule and causes pain. In this case, the pain is stronger, the stronger the stretching of the capsule and the shorter the period of time it occurs. Even significant stretching of the capsule, but developing relatively slowly and gradually, does not cause pain.
Therefore, with congestive liver, dull pain in the side is observed, as this more often happens with the acute onset of a disease - heart failure, etc. These pains may be absent in slowly occurring liver diseases, despite its increase, since the stretching of the liver capsule in these cases occurs gradually .
What can help an athlete with pain in the side? One of the best and most natural remedies is careful and gradual training of the athlete. It is also necessary to carefully observe the basic principles of training: classes should be systematic, a warm-up should be carried out before classes, and the load should be increased gradually. Proper breathing is of great importance during training sessions and competitions: special attention should be paid to deepening the exhalation.
Correct breathing is especially important because the respiratory apparatus is very closely connected with the cardiovascular and other systems and is involved in the overall process.
The coherence of breathing movements with sports movements is also of great importance. Special scientific studies have shown that changes in respiratory function during sports stress are individual in nature and that in the process of sports training, the coherence of the respiratory rhythm with the rhythm of sports movements increases, which is especially noticeable during cyclic movements. Those who have studied breathing “have also found that by changing breathing patterns during training, athletic performance can be improved.
A disorder of coordination, i.e., coordinated activity of the respiratory apparatus with other organs, consists in the fact that the lungs do not fully participate in the act of breathing; the possibility of full expansion of 1 chest in the anterior-posterior and lateral directions is not used; the respiratory movements of the diaphragm occur insignificantly.
With proper breathing, the diaphragm lowers when inhaling into the abdominal cavity, which helps expand the lower parts of the lungs. Typically, at rest, thoracic breathing accounts for two-thirds, and diaphragmatic breathing accounts for one-third of the total inhaled air, which is calculated on average at 500 cm8.
The diaphragm is a moving muscle, and with proper breathing, you can increase its size and thereby increase pulmonary ventilation, that is, the amount of air passing through the lungs per unit time. Since diaphragmatic breathing has great advantages, it should replace chest breathing as completely as possible. Lowering into the abdominal cavity when inhaling, the diaphragm presses on the insides of the abdomen, puts pressure on the liver and mechanically squeezes out the blood that stagnates there. This creates the most favorable conditions for the flow of venous blood to the heart and thereby promotes proper blood circulation.
Thus, the issue of breathing is one of the most important for every athlete. Proper breathing before, during and after training sessions and competitions is important not only for improving athletic performance, but also one of the means to relieve pain during sports activity. Therefore, every athlete should pay the most serious attention to developing proper breathing.
Along with this, the correct technical execution of movements appears to be of some importance. In particular, for example, the peculiarities of body biomechanics during race walking (lateral swings of the body, etc.) can lead to displacement of the liver and other internal organs of the abdominal cavity, to poor circulation and, ultimately, to pain in the side.
During training and during competitions, pain can be relieved by pressing the hand on the place where the pain is felt. In some cases, a sharp increase in pain in the side serves as a signal to stop running or walking or slow down the pace of movement. After cessation of sports stress and a short rest, these pains usually disappear.
Pain in the side can be observed not only in acute liver diseases. In some liver diseases, the spleen is also involved in the disease process along with the liver. In this case, an enlargement of the spleen occurs, which can be caused by stagnation of blood in the portal vein - the so-called congestive hyperemia of the spleen, in which pain is observed in the left side.
If there is pain in the side, the athlete should inform his coach and consult a doctor. Frequent attacks of pain in the side may be a symptom of liver disease.

Let me note right away that when I ask a question, I hope for a theoretical answer, because... Without seeing the person it is impossible to say anything for sure.
Last week on Wednesday there was a training session for the program for beginners. I had a great workout and picked up a new working weight for squats. After the workout I didn’t feel particularly tired.
On Friday, I felt some discomfort and at times slight pain in the lower part of my right side. I didn’t attach much importance and went to training in the evening. I reduced the load a little and didn’t do squats. In the bench press I took a new working weight, and at the end I shook my abs. The training went great. The discomfort in my side disappeared.
But on Saturday my side began to bother me again, and on Sunday afternoon I decided to call an ambulance because... The symptoms were similar to appendicitis.
Today, Tuesday, I was discharged from the hospital because... According to all tests, there is no inflammatory process in the body, the pain in the side did not disappear, did not become stronger, but began to be felt more often.
I asked the doctor if this could be related to playing sports, for example a hernia, but he muttered under his breath that it wasn’t and ran away.
Has anyone else experienced something similar after training? Like a sprain?
Could this be the start of a hernia?
Well, in general, your opinion.
Tomorrow I will go to the local doctor.

“In the side” is an inaccurate address. You need to decide whether this pain was felt in the abdominal cavity or in the abdominal wall. The nature of the pain is dull, cutting, and so on. Where did it go if you smoothly pressed on this place and then abruptly released it? The doctor will ask you this, if he is a doctor and not a plumber. The reasons can be very different, for example, painful liver syndrome, stagnation of bile, ingestion of poor quality food, and so on, including a sluggish form of inflammation of the appendix. All this should be clarified at the clinic. Here, guesses and assumptions are simply inappropriate. Share information about what you have discovered - it will be useful for forum members to know what causes these symptoms. Leonid Ostapenko

I wrote that today I was discharged from the hospital. Since Sunday, I have been under the supervision of doctors; they took blood tests three times a day to monitor the level of leukocytes, the number of which increases during inflammatory processes. According to tests, there is no inflammation.
They suggested leaving it for another three days. But instead of doing a laparoscopy (sort of) when a puncture is made in the abdominal cavity and the appendix is visible through it, they wanted to do a gastroscopy and ultrasound. The question is, why?
I would chalk it all up to a strained abdominal muscle, but:
— I’ve never had such a sprain, and I’ve never heard of anyone pulling their abdominal muscles.
— the pain appeared on Friday, and the last training session was on Wednesday and nothing hurt after it.
— I pumped my abs on Friday, there were no unpleasant sensations.

In our clinic, if you cough, if you have a runny nose and a red throat, it’s an acute respiratory infection. And everyone always has acute respiratory infections, about five years ago I had this, okay, acute respiratory infections are just that, I was treated with pills and nasal drops, but I had bronchitis (and I had to take injections) and it ended up with pneumonia. So the clinic is crap, excuse the expression)

I have had this pain in my gall bladder for 12 years now. Does dull pain in the right hypochondrium intensify after eating? White coated tongue? After sour fruits, lying on your left side and breathing from your stomach, do you feel gurgling and as if the hardness in your right hypochondrium is being blown away and relief comes? Do you have small white pimples under your eyes (pimples)?
Have you been examined? What doctors say?
The appetite is excellent, there is no nausea. The pain is not in the hypochondrium, but in the area between the navel and the extreme upper point of the pelvic bone, exactly where it hurts with appendicitis. The language has a touch to it, but it always seemed to be like that, because... gastritis since childhood. I have not eaten sour fruits yet. There are no fatty tissues.

Anything is possible. On Monday, my left shoulder hurt, as if it had been pulled during training; it hurt to scratch between my shoulder blades. This is despite the fact that the last training was on Friday, well, on Saturday I carried a little water at the dacha, but nothing hurt. And in the hospital you lie on the bed all day, doing nothing. So the question is, what does this shoulder need? =)

Guys! Does damage exist? The healthy as moose say it’s nonsense, the sick believe it.
I don’t know about damage, but after lying in the hospital for 3 days, I realized that
THERE IS NOTHING MORE VALUABLE THAN HEALTH .
When nothing hurts, we think that it will always be like this, we can eat everything, drink alcohol (in moderation, as we think), dress easily when it’s cool outside, don’t feel sorry for yourself during training, etc. But when you see a person who has not drunk anything for 2 weeks and is fed with a special solution through a tube inserted into his nose, you begin to appreciate and love your body and health.

I’m not making a diagnosis, but I also assume that Leonid Alekseevich in particular is inclined towards some form of appendicitis, after all, they palpated you and asked you to turn left/right while sitting, and as I understand it, there are almost no sensations, it hurts somewhere incomprehensibly inside and just a little gives off even in the center and to the kidney? Slightly aching, blurry nature of the pain? This thing breaks through in 2 weeks. - a month, especially if aggravated by alcohol, smoking, poor diet, stress, even a cold. They wanted to do a gastroscopy to find out the condition of the gastric mucosa, most likely for gastritis, which is often present in this form of appendicitis. Laparoscopy for a very accurate diagnosis. It was in vain that you retreated. Do everything right, the doctors at the hospital seem to be thoughtful.

Let's get back to the topic.
Due to objective circumstances, I was able to see a doctor only today. The therapist said that this was not her area and sent me to a surgeon, although she could have given me a referral for tests, but oh well. The surgeon looked at me, said that it was intestinal colic and sent me back to the therapist; he did not answer my questions about what to do. Well, as often happens, the therapist has already gone home. In a word, Russian medicine in action.
I searched the Internet and this is what I found:
There are intestinal, hepatic, pancreatic (pancreatic), renal colic. Intestinal colic is most often observed. Consumption of abundant indigestible food , inflammatory processes, scars and adhesions, the presence of worms, intense fermentation or putrefactive processes in the intestines , promoting gas formation, and the associated stretching of the intestinal walls can cause Colic.
Varieties of intestinal colic are appendicular and rectal (rectal).
Appendicular colic is characterized by prolonged pain of increasing severity in the right lower half of the abdomen. ;
1. because I started working out in the gym only 2 months ago, perhaps my body did not have time to get used to the larger amount of food consumed.
2. For the last 2 weeks, there has been severe bloating, possibly due to the use of gainer. For those who have this problem, I do not advise treating it as a side effect; the cause must be identified and eliminated.
3. There is also an explanation for why the right side hurt.
In any case, tomorrow I’ll go to the therapist, maybe he’ll give me a referral for an examination and tell me what to treat.
After this incident, I will listen more carefully to my body. It is very unpleasant to take a break in the midst of training and lose results.

Pain in the right side during exercise.
Playing sports is often associated with unpleasant sensations. Some of them, for example, sore throat, are not a signal that processes hazardous to health are occurring in the body. But most pain sensations are still a signal of danger, and these include acute pain in the right side, which usually occurs during jogging.
Surely this unpleasant sensation is familiar to everyone, and it appears as a result of impaired blood supply to the liver due to increased physical activity. Similar sensations are familiar to those who like to eat a lot - by overloading the digestive tract, the glutton also overloads the liver, and the large flow of blood, which is necessary for its normal functioning in such extreme conditions, causes a feeling of fullness and pain in the right side.
When it comes to intense physical activity, the opposite situation occurs: the outflow of blood from the liver cannot occur as usual, causing the liver to swell, pinching pain receptors.
Colic in the liver is especially severe when both factors are present, that is, the athlete goes to classes almost immediately after eating a large meal. This is one of the reasons why it is recommended to eat two to three hours before training. During this time, food is digested and the load on the liver is significantly reduced.
But for overall health, it would be a good idea to adopt a bodybuilder's eating style and eat small amounts often. Reducing the amount of food eaten at one sitting will allow you to evenly distribute the load on the gastrointestinal tract, providing the body with a constant flow of energy.
Do not think that such pain occurs only during fitness activities. Of course, most often, pain in the right side occurs in runners, as well as in athletes who make sudden and strong movements. However, bodybuilders may also encounter a similar problem when performing some assistance exercises.
Thus, strength training is often followed by a set of aerobic exercises, and a sudden transition can trigger the appearance of colic. You can protect yourself from them by following the rules regarding food intake and working without fanaticism. You need to understand that the human body is not a machine that, if there is fuel, will obediently move in the indicated direction. Every bodybuilder understands that when exercising on machines, with a barbell or weights, he should not make jerks, since this is traumatic and does not allow muscle fibers to be fully worked out. When moving on to aerobic exercise, he often forgets about caution, believing that training without weights is absolutely safe. This is a misconception - which a sharp pain in the right side will not fail to remind an enthusiastic athlete.
Most often it occurs in a bodybuilder when working out the lower body. But it happens that colic appears during exercises for the torso and shoulder girdle. The soldier's bench press, in particular, often causes pain in the liver. If this happens when training on an empty stomach, you need to reduce the load and consult a doctor as soon as possible for advice. It is quite possible that such a reaction of the liver indicates that it is not feeling well.

Heavy meal
If you ate a heavy meal shortly before a run or a quick walk, your body is actively digesting food. The stomach at this moment is enlarged, and the liver is actively working. The heavier the food, the more active the gastrointestinal tract functions. Fast running or walking will lead to a rush of blood, as a result of which the internal organ will enlarge and you will feel pain in the right side closer to the lower abdomen.
To prevent such pain, it is important to eat at least 40 minutes before activity, and it is better to wait an hour. You should also not eat heavy foods (fried, fatty, smoked, etc.).
Liver disease, if there is severe pain on the right side of the abdomen with sudden movement, shaking, or walking
Cholestasis and pain on the right side of the abdomen
When the outflow of bile is impaired, stagnation processes develop in the liver tissues. A set of bile acids is released into the lumen of the duodenum. If the ability of the liver tissues to secrete the elements they produce into the intestine is impaired, cholesterol and bile acids accumulate in excess in the blood. The pathology of intrahepatic cholestasis, when there are deviations in the excretion of bile from the network of bile ducts and the accumulation of its elements in the liver tissues, occurs:
1 for viral lesions;
2 with changes in the body during pregnancy;
3 with the negative impact of a number of medications, for example, aminazine or some hormonal drugs.
In the case of subhepatic cholestasis, the problem appears against the background of blockage of one of the bile ducts with stones, parasites, developing neoplasms, and also due to compression of the lumen of the duct. Symptoms of the pathology of cholestasis include:
1 pain in the right hypochondrium;
2 increased frequency of bowel movements, change in color of feces, presence of an unpleasant pungent odor of feces;
3 the presence of whitish-gray fragments in the stool;
4 darkening of urine excreted;
5 decreased visual acuity.
Recognition of pathology is based on the use of instrumental and laboratory techniques. Perform:
1 Ultrasound examination of the liver parenchyma and gall bladder;
2 Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography to detect the presence of stones;
3 tomography of liver tissue using magnetic resonance techniques.
Laboratory tests of blood and urine samples make it possible to identify excess content of elements such as:
1 cholesterol;
2 set of bile acids;
3 phospholipids;
4 copper elements;
5 alkaline phosphatase;
6 bilirubin.
The accumulation of bile acids in excess begins to irritate the endings of nerve bundles deep in the skin, causing itching, and with an increased bilirubin content, icteric syndrome develops. The following types of jaundice are distinguished:
1 in its suprahepatic (hemolytic) form, accelerated breakdown of red blood cells occurs;
2 in the subhepatic form (obstructive), the extrahepatic transport of bilirubin is disrupted;
3 hepatic form (parenchymal) is associated with damage to hepatocytes and impaired metabolism of intrahepatic bilirubin.
As a rule, the pathology of intrahepatic cholestasis is closely related to the hepatic form of jaundice. Therapy methods:
1 conservative, including correction of diet;
2 medications, involving the use of hepatoprotectors, cytostatics, drugs containing ursodeoxycholic acid (ursosan, ursofalk);
3 symptomatic, reducing the intensity of the manifestation of signs of the disease (vitamins, antihistamines, antioxidants);
4 surgical intervention;
5 physiotherapy techniques, massage procedures.
Complicated course of cholestasis with jaundice can lead to liver failure, encephalopathy with the threat of sepsis.
Fatty liver degeneration (hepatosis) – pain on the right side of the abdomen
Liver tissue consists of liver cells - hepatocytes, whose functions include the synthesis of cholesterol and storage of proteins, transformation of carbohydrates, bile elements, and phospholipids. They help detoxification processes by promoting the removal of endogenous harmful substances. Hepatocytes actively participate in the process of bile formation. If pathological changes occur in the cells, the disease manifests itself in the form of pain in the right side and other symptoms. The cause of hepatocyte pathology can be:
1 lack of protein intake;
2 poisonings of various etiologies (industrial poisons, mushrooms, pesticides, chemicals from household chemicals);
3 deficiency of oxygen received by body tissues as a result of diseases of the respiratory system;
4 negative influence of drugs, alcohol
As a result of pathological changes, a gradual proliferation of fibrous fibers occurs. Fatty structures begin to replace normal liver cells, which leads to dysfunction of the liver parenchyma.
Fatty hepatosis is characterized by degenerative tissue changes that can develop with bacterial tissue damage, when pathogens from the pathogenic flora of the small intestine penetrate the portal vein and cause inflammation in the liver tissues. In addition, the development of hepatosis is provoked by metabolic syndrome, which includes a complex of metabolic and hormonal disorders. Diagnosis of fatty liver degeneration is carried out:
1 based on ultrasound and computed tomography data;
2 based on the results of studies of blood samples for biochemical parameters;
3 analyzes of biomaterials (biopsy samples from liver tissue).
Treatment areas include:
1 in eliminating a complex of factors that negatively affect hepatocytes;
2 in stimulating the hepatoprotective functions of the body;
Drug treatment is combined with the use of herbal preparations that have a positive effect on the liver structure, and a special role is given to diet.
Cirrhosis of the liver, cirrhosis and pain on the right side of the abdomen
Pain from the right side of the abdomen can only be the first and most harmless harbinger of the development of an extremely serious liver pathology - cirrhosis. Pathological transformations in the organ become irreversible; in fact, the liver is unable to even partially perform its functions. This is due to the chronic course of hepatitis and other diseases, which result in persistent metabolic disorders. Cirrhosis develops against the background of massive death of hepatocytes and a necrotic process in the liver tissues. They shrink and are completely structurally modified. There are three main stages of the disease:
1 At the first stage of viral hepatitis, part of the hepatocytes dies, and a necrotic focus forms in the liver lobules. It is gradually regenerated with the formation of nodal structures. The patient often experiences pain under the ribs on the right.
2 During the second stage, the dead part of the hepatocytes is replaced by connective cells, they form a kind of septum in different places of the central vein. Because of this, the blood supply to other areas is disrupted, and pathological changes also occur in them;
3 At the third stage, the structure of the liver parenchyma changes, the connective tissue grows, and the hepatic vascular network becomes clogged. The patient experiences constant and intense pain in the right side. External manifestations are distinguished by the presence of icteric signs, constant itching of the skin, the sclera of the eyes turn yellow, the skin epithelium dries out, peels off, and becomes rough.
Other symptoms of cirrhosis of the liver:
1 feeling of heaviness and constant pain localized on the right under the ribs;
2 belching and unpleasant taste in the mouth;
3 alternating states of constipation and diarrhea, excretion of light-colored feces, darkened urine;
4 increased abdominal volume;
5 bleeding of gum pockets;
6 presence of a pinkish sheen on the tongue.
Diagnosis is carried out comprehensively, starting with a general examination of the patient, palpating painful areas of the body, and assessing the condition of the mucous membranes and skin. Perform:
1 analysis of body bio-excretions (feces, urine);
2 extended blood test;
3 ultrasound of the liver, gall bladder, spleen, CT;
4 analysis of a biopsy sample from liver tissue.
The scope of treatment depends on the degree of damage to the liver tissue. Individual drug therapy and a strict diet are prescribed, but often the only option is surgery.
Excessive exercise or lack of warm-up
At rest, 2/3 of the total blood volume circulates in the body, and the rest is localized in tissues and organs. When the load increases sharply, blood from the reserve is included in the circulation. Accordingly, the liver enlarges and puts pressure on the hepatic capsule with multiple nerve endings. This contributes to pain in the right hypochondrium. This happens even in healthy people with a low level of training or in the absence of preliminary warm-up.
Is it possible to warn and how?
It is not difficult to avoid pain in the liver while running if you take special measures in advance.
It is important to exercise 2-3 hours after eating. It is recommended to drink enough water before and during training. At the beginning of the lesson, you should do a proper warm-up. The load and duration of exercise should be increased gradually so as not to subject the body to excessive stress. Correct movements and breathing should be taken into account during the exercises.
All runners, without exception, periodically face this problem. It is much more common among beginners. We learned from professional running coaches what to do when your side hurts when running so that this minor problem does not disrupt your training plans.
Appendicitis
The causes of nagging and aching pain in the right side in the lower abdomen in men or women after exercise include appendicitis - inflammation of the appendix. In this case, it becomes difficult to remove the contents from the appendage of the cecum. This situation may arise due to blockage of the lumen with worms, feces or decomposition products of undigested food. Sometimes appendicitis is asymptomatic for a long time, only sometimes manifesting itself as mild pain in the right side after walking or jogging, but gradually the situation worsens and the pain becomes sharp and acute.
Symptoms of side pain when running
We have already dealt with the causes of side pain when running, now it’s time to look at the symptoms of side pain, which indicate that the pain is about to manifest itself.
Depending on the nature of the pain when running and the conditions in which it manifests itself, there are several symptoms:
- Weak endurance of the body, unpreparedness for physical activity, poor warm-up, high level of stress.
- Problems with breathing (it is difficult for you to breathe while running, your breathing is intermittent and uneven).
- Recent meal.
- Chronic diseases that manifest themselves during physical activity.
Pain when running occurs not only in those who are overweight and practice running to lose weight, but also in professional athletes who practice long-term exercise.
Vena cava thrombosis
Rare but dangerous reasons why the right side under the ribs may hurt when walking include thrombosis of the vena cava. It circulates blood from the organs and goes to the heart, and then moves back.
The superior vena cava collects blood coming from the veins of the neck and head, arms and chest area. The inferior vena cava is a powerful venous trunk that drains blood from the legs, abdominal organs and pelvis. Thrombosis, leading to pain in the right side under the ribs, is incredibly dangerous for people’s health and even life, so unpleasant symptoms cannot be ignored!
What to do while running to stop the pain
Coping with cramps while running is quite difficult. There are several tips that can help, but each case is different and their effectiveness is not guaranteed.
- Apply a little pressure to the area of pain and remove your hand while exhaling;
- Slow down your running speed, but do not stop for a long time;
- Start breathing deeper, inhaling for two steps and exhaling for the third. Thanks to this, the muscles will relax and spasms can go away;
- Stop and do stretching exercises - bending to the side or forward;
- Slowly transition into a walk and then stop. After this, lean forward slightly - tense internal organs and the diaphragm will relax;
- Massage the area where the pain is located.
Should you see a doctor?
If your side hurts while running, then in most cases the discomfort should go away some time after you stop exercising. However, each case is individual. If these pains are regular and constant, and no methods can be used to muffle them or remove them, then this can be a serious wake-up call.
In this case, it is recommended to make an appointment with a therapist, who will give further recommendations on how to get rid of unpleasant sensations. Continuous pain in the left side may indicate a disease of the internal organs:
- Spleen;
- Bud;
- Pancreas.
Unpleasant sensations on the right are most likely provoked by the liver, and specifically by the “Glissonian capsule”. A timely appointment with a specialist will prevent the development of complex pathologies and preserve your health.
