Cramp!!!!!!!!

[readyformore]

So........ what gives? i get a cramp no matter what when ever i do anything... it's always no matter what in the exact same spot.. on my left side of my stomach... right under my rib cage directly on my side... i've been getting a cramp there for the past year and a half and have no clue why... some times i'll get a cramp there when i'm just sitting down.... it'll get all tight feeling... like now.. and when i run.. i've only been able to run a mile max lately because the pain get's to be unbearable... i get it at about .3 of a mile... I had a cat scan back when it started and nothing came up so the doctors were clueless and never found out why i was having this cramp all the time... i can't get past this 1 mile mark because of this cramp... i really need to gain stamina in running!!! if anyone know's what this could be please help me...

the pain is LITERALLY where my stomach is... oh yeah.. i have G.E.R.D also...

wait i take that back about it being under my rib cage... it actually stops right where the belly button is and then goes up to about the bottom of my chest...

How much fluid are you taking in each day?

Are we ruling out the reflux?

Sounds like a serious problem. A doc would be best, but just out of curiosity, do you have athsma?

each day of ALL fluids i'd say about 2 liters sometimes a liter of water sometimes only half... sometimes more but normally i drink 1 liter

YES i do have asthma... i don't have a inhaler either lol it costs to much money!
but it's not serious asthma to be super bad i can run a mile + and not get it... if it get's bad enough i have a inhaler with a few puff's left in my car...


okay so to clarify i only get cramps when i'm really active and it's pretty much everytime...
when i'm not doing anything just sitting down i tend to lean to the left a little bit which may be the discomfort that i have when not doing anything... the thing about it is, it all started happening after a car accident... it was a t-bone accident with us going about 45 hitting the other car the front passenger side aka my side lol (their fault, pulling out on us on a highway... really?)

AHH wait the feeling when i'm not active and it comes is more of a tightness feeling no pain at all just feels tight

and i have back problems... a weak back and bad back problems

You have a 'bad back', but you jog?

bad back as in weak back lol it doesn't hurt ALL the time but i mean i'll go out and be working on my car for a hour or 2 and come back in n just relax because my back feels all out of place and soar... it feels exactly how it feels after a good back workout... my traps get sore along with all the rest of the upper back.. my lower back is pretty good..

Regarding your current symptoms, any plans to visit a doctor?

not really... 20 bucks is expensive.. lol specially when last time i went when the problems started the dr said she had no clue everything looked fine i got a CAT scan and everything was fine there also.... they couldn't find anything wrong... plus they told me that my heart was extremely healthy, i dunno..

Sounds like it's not your pancreas then. That's good.

 

[readyformore]

umm also okay.. um... i just took a piss and it relived ALOT of the discomfort... also is it normal to take like 20-30 seconds some times longer to be able to start going pee? normally it takes me like 15-20 seconds... sometimes longer sometimes shorter but mostly 15-20...

You probably need to drink more water.

Also, don't drink all of your fluids right before you run. That's what some people do and it's a recipe for disaster. Keep yourself well hydrated throughout the day.

well today i ran half a mile because i was extremely tired (lol i fell asleep at work LOL yeah... woke up slamming my mouse into my keyboard... LOL) so i was really really tired but i actually went out of breath before i got a cramp and the cramp that i got was actually in a different spot which surpised the heck out of me... i tried a new thing, not eat for like 4-5 hours before i go only drink water but not to much going to need to try this a couple more times to double check it..
