How do you get rid of side stitches when running?
449756
Yes!! When you get a side stitch a good breathing technique is to exhale firmly when the foot that the side stitch is on hits the ground. \n\nAfter a couple of breaths it should go away. I'm not sure if it's mental or physiological but it works.

Pour some peroxide on it to clean it out and then cover it.  Putting a bit of neosporin on it may also help a bit.  But if it is really bad you should probably see a doctor in case you need stitches.

RICE Treatment.\nRest:\nThe first 24-48 hours after the injury is considered a critical treatment period and activities need to be curtailed. Gradually use the injured extremity as much as tolerated, by try to avoid any activities that cause pain. Often using a splint or slings is necessary to adequately rest the injured body part. \nIce:\nFor the first 48 hours post-injury, ice the sprain or strain 20 minutes at a time every 3-4 hours. The ice pack can be a bag of frozen vegetables (peas or corn), allowing you to be able to re-use the bag and it mould to your body.Alternatively, wrap ice in a clothing, place it on the affected area.\nCaution: Do NOT ice a sprain for more than 20 minutes at a time! You will not be helping heal the injury any faster, and you can cause damage to the tissues!\nCompression:\nUse compression when elevating sprain in early treatment. Using a crepe bandage, wrap the area overlapping the elastic wrap by one-half of the width of the wrap. The wrap should be snug, but not cutting off circulation to the extremity.If your fingers or toes become cold, blue, or tingle, re-wrap.It means it too tight.\nElevate:\nKeep your sprain higher than your heart if possible. Elevate at night by placing pillows under your shoulder. \n\nThis method works by constricting the flow of blood to the affected area. As blood circulation can take away the thing that repair the sprain.\nGet Well Soon :)

It will get worse, much worse.  My track coach had me do a trick that helped a ton.  Take your shoes and socks off and sit in a sandbox at a playground.  Then extend your feet in front of you and stick them in the soft sand.  Then try and squeeze your feet so you are trying to curl your toes to your heel.  Do a few sets of 15 - 20 of this every day if you can.  It made my shin splints go completely away.

Since the damage has already been done, you need to ice it whenever you can, take Motrin or Aleve, and stay off it as much as possible, but if you must walk on it you can simply wrap that leg with an Ace bandage (make it snug, not tight).  To prevent getting shin splints in the future, tap each foot for a full minute just like you'd tap your foot to the beat of a song before you go jogging.  It'll get very hard to do by the end of that minute, but keep doing it.  If that doesn't do the trick, you should see an orthopedist -- could be that you need orthotics for your shoes so you don't run on the insides or outsides of your feet.

when u get stiches jus run through them, try not 2 think bout it and keep runnin, maybe run a bit slower 2, the only way it will stop is after time, wen u start runnin more and ur body gets ust 2 it, u wont get stiches anymore, u will gradually find u can run for longer and faster without gettin stiches, it takes time so keep it up and ull be fine.

Walking is much lower impact than running.  Walking probably is not agrivating the injury as much as running work.\nConsider:\n- Using ice 20 min. on, 20 min. off 2 or 3 times a day.\n- Use a knee brace for support when running until it feels better, get one with the steel brakets on either side to help control side to side motion.  Don't use brace for too long as it can prevent your body from supporting on it's own if the brace is always there.\n- If not better in about a week or two.  See an orthopedic doctor.\n- Asprin or Advil or your favorite pain killer can also help with the pain and cut down on any swelling.

bandage + plaster over them to make it thick.\nwrap it including your fingers, i mean between ur fingers too

when u run ur feet must land on the ground  at the balls of your feet and the toes.landing on ur heel causes injuries(serious ones).also avoid running on tarred roads(asphalt).they are bad for ur knees.And before u start running do a few excercises (streching)etc to heat up your body and also to improve circulation.if u start runnin (especially in the morning) without proper streching it will hurt u(physically)

Are you talking about the external scar or the scar tissue left inside?  ...Try Mederma for the external scar.  I had surgery on both my feet this past fall/winter and started using it immediately when the stitches came out and you can't see anything now.  For internal scar tissue though...It has to be "worked out"...As in moving the area, etc.  Physical therapy does lots of that.  That of course depends on what type surgery you had as to whether or not it's applicable.  ..hope that helped....

Aloe will keep your skin SOFT, neosporine and bacitracine keep your skin CLEAN.\n\nI am guessing that you 1) have a popped blister and that 2) you wanna keep running\n\nSo....put the antibiotic stuff on it....bandage it up....and put something like vasaline on the outside of the bandage so it will slide against the sock rather than rubbing against the sock and coming off. Then, put on the sock, and the shoe, and go for a run.  That may or may not work.\n\nSecond choice- don't run for a day or two or three.\nget in the pool or on the bike....give the blister a chance to get better.\n\nIf it gets WORSE or infected...you are gonna be away from running for up to 2 weeks....so be really careful!

I have had the same problem. The best way is to drink water, don't run for about two or three weeks and make sure you drink a lot or eat a lot of protein to help your body recover.  Also get running shoes, I haven't done that yet, but everyone says running shoes will help prevent that from happening in the future.

Try making sure you are hydrated properly, it is a crucial factor, but it could be anatomical.  You're most likely exhaling when your right side is hitting the pavement.  This causes your internal organs to expand to fill the gap as your diaphragm moves upward.  This tension causes a pain in your side (either side).  The best way to avoid this is to, when you feel the pain begin, is to take several LONG breaths.  Also, try exhaling when your left foot hits the ground.  If all else fails, physically shortening the distance your organs have to expand (i.e. leaning to that side) will also do miracles to alleviate that pain.\n\nGood Luck

Well, I will actually try to answer you (as if you never thought of going to the doctor, oy).  I had the same thing for a long time, it was a taekwondo injury.  When I ran, it killed me for a couple of days (and this was *after* 3 months of physical therapy, which I'm convinced made it worse, and ice and heat and more ice and heat).  The thing that helped me most was honestly yoga.  I did it on and off for years before the injury and just picked it up again.  I have never felt better.  Deep tissue massage did nothing for me what lengthening and strengthening the muscle did.  Go easy at first, and if it feels okay, try a little more.  I can now run again (after about 4 years) with no repercussions at all.  I'm healed!  Good luck and feel better!

clamp down on it hard for 15 minutes\nIf it stops bleeding and you can leave it alone, then probably no stitches are need, But if it is in a location where flexing will cause the cut to open, then YES stitch it closed

Try a splint with duct tape.

first of all, buy better shoes. Second, take an anti-inflammatory ALL THE TIME. Just taking it when it hurts does not help the problem. Third, quit running and start walking for exercise. Shortening your stride will also help. You can strengthen those muscles by doing 30 toe-raises a day. Without the support of a wall, go from flat footed to up on your toes 30 times each day. Do so fairly slowly and let yourself back down JUST as slowly.
