What Causes A Stitch, Or What Causes Pain In The Ribs When Running
STITCH
Subjects > Health (Search for Health)
YOU'RE most likely to get this pain under the ribs when you're running. That's because when you breathe out your diaphragm goes up and at the same time, the force of your foot striking the ground causes your liver to go down. This stretches the ligaments that attach the liver to your diaphragm, causing pain.
WHAT YOU CAN DO: Stop running and press your hand deep into your liver to raise it up against your diaphragm. At the same time, purse your lips and blow out against the tightly-held lips as hard as you can.
WHEN TO WORRY: "If you get a stitch when you're not running, see your GP," says Dr Vandenburg. "It might indicate a hernia or gall bladder problem."
