Cramp in side while running,
I caught a bad cramp in my side this morning while running. Ouch! I finished the run holding onto my side. But it actually still hurts. It's been 12 hours already. Anything I can do?

Re: Cramp in side while running,
Thats weird that it still hurts. Are you possibly dehydrated? That could definitely cause it in the first place but maybe its not related to the running if it still hurts.

I agree that it shouldn't still be hurting. When I first started running I would get cramps (they decrease the more you run). I researched and found that if you blow all the air out of your lungs a few times, that will help it to go away. And also to lift both arms over your head an sort of stretch up. Sometimes while I'm running I'll put both my arms up and blow all the air out, I must look crazy lol Hope you feel better soon!

Re: Cramp in side while running,
My brother is a much more avid runner than I am and he told me when you get a cramp lift the arm on that side over your head straight up for a while. However, if it is still hurting are you sure it's just a cramp and not some sort of pull or strain?
