Severe stitch-like pain on right side
Hi,
About four weeks ago, I developed a really strong pain on my right side during an easy run, similar to a typical stitch but a lot worse. It started off relatively inconsistent and appeared during some runs of varying lengths and intensities, but then was absent on others.
However, more recently it's become a recurring issue, and I've had the discomfort slowly come on no matter what kind of run I'm doing.
I've tried the usual suspects, like avoiding food/drinks in the hours preceding a run, watching my breathing, etc. I've also been running for 2+ years now with an average weekly volume of approx. 50-60K, and this has never been an issue, so any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
AI/other research points to typical Exercise-Related Transient Abdominal Pain, but since it's been appearing non-stop for four weeks, I'm starting to consider other causes, as that usually calms down on its own.
