What Causes Pain In The Right Abdomen While Running?
Hi. Every time I run my right side hurts.The pain is a few inches right of my belly buttion, and every time I run the pain will always make me stop. It has been a week since it first started. I am a very athletic person. I did gymnastics for 9 years and started cross country 5 weeks ago. Last Saturday was around a 3 mile run and I ran for 2.5 miles and then the pain started. It has been getting slightly worse, by starting only after a few seconds of running. Yesterday it started hurting when I was jumping too.

Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
That pain could be due to a muscle stretch or tendon injury during your running.
You need to take rest for a week to allow it to heal as it is getting more injured by continued running as evident by increasing pain.
So i would suggest that you take some muscle ralaxant and apply hot fomentation to the area, to help its healing.
