Cramps or Something Else?

[FarrIL]

Alright, I've noticed this during the winter months and it's been happening again, at least for the past two or three days.

Let's say you go out for a late-night walk and break out into a run. A normal sprint, not gonna run the length of the block. Well, you slow down and go back to walking.....

...BAM!! Consciousness of a nausea-causing, weak-making, rather uncomfortable belly cramp. NOT a stitch in your rib, but a nasty cramp. Sure, it feels like the cramp I get when I get a heavy period but.... it's not my monthly yet. Sure, it's coming up but hasnt started yet. This cramp or belly pain is enough to almost make me double over in discomfort because it hurts that bad. And for some reason it doesnt go away until I am at home, sitting down and relaxing. I cant walk off this cramp because it hurts that bad.

So, I dont know what it is, why it is, etc.....

.... All I know is that it hits me, regardless of an upcoming Shark Week or not.

Any ideas, folks?

How long has this been going on? I would see a doctor if you're worried about it.

Colitis and Divers make you cramp but not just when you run although stress will induce it....no idea.

I get those when I run. WHEN I run. I associate it with my being out of shape.

Do you run often? Even if it is a slow jog this can happen. Happens to me, BUT I am by far not a doctor.

patient: doctor, it hurts when i do this... (does something)

dcotor: don't do that!!

Just happens when I run. Funny thing, while I have pudge on my stomach, I'm not out of shape.

I think it started around the time I stopped going to Tae Kwon Do as often, due to school. But I'm just curious at to what it is exactly that's wrong.

It just means you can't get enough oxygen. Use the old highschool gym class trick and put your hands behind your head, arms up and breathe in deeply, walk slowly, don't stop walking.

I've always liked The Cramps. :grin

I always did that when I got the wind knocked out of me....... oO

Is it only on one particular side? If so, which? Does it hurt any other time? If you push on that area?

If it only happens when running, then I'd say it is related to that. Maybe some sort of super-muscle-cramp, I don't know.

My endometreosis causes cramps like that randomly. It suuuucks.... If it keeps up or becomes more common, go get an ultrasound.
