Q: Pain In Abdomen

I have been looking in the forums for a while and could not decide where to put this. Due to the circumstances, I decided to put it here. If you have a different place to put this thread in a different place, please feel free to do so, just tell me where it has been moved too 8)
ok, so since march of 2005, I have been loosing weight. I have been doing it by eating less and excersising more, and obvious choice. Anyway, I have lost 3 stone since then. However, now I get something I didn't used to get.
Whenever I am jogging, for more than 1 minute, I begin to get a rather big pain in my stomach muscle area. It's like a cramp, but it's not a cramp. It hurts much than a cramp, and it last longer than one too, plus I have had cramp before, so I know what it would feel like. Anyway, I definatly think it is the up and down movement of the jogging which is doing, because as soon as I stop, it doesn't hurt.
In my excercise, I do some sit-ups. Not hundreds. A few months ago at one point I was doing like 250 a day for 2 weeks. Before I did that, I had no pain there, however, not directly after it, but it is after it, I get these pains. I do more like 50 every 2 days now to try and see if that helps the pain.
So my question is would this feeling be something muscular, or something else?

I suppose it all depends on where in the abdomin the pain is. Is it in the upper abs or lower abs? Have you been doing any weight training during the time prior to your cramping? You may have just pulled a muscle or maybe you gave yourself a hernia. Abdominal hernia's can be quite painful but a quick trip to the doc's could rule that out for you. Good luck hope you figure it out soon.

Thanks for the reply. I have been doing less excersicing gradually, and now I can run the cross country course without any pain. I feel if I keep it at a lower rate then it will completely go away.

Pain In Abdomen
I have had similar pain. I am a marathon runner, so I have plenty of stamina but at times (maybe 3x a year) I will jog and get a cramp in my lower abdomen that cripples me. It's almost as if I feel this dull pain deep inside and if I happen to set it off from running I won't last a 1/4 of a mile. In addition, it then becomes painful to walk. After about 10 minutes the pain tapers off, but the dull, deep pain still lingers. My obgyn recently found an adnexal mass which I am having inspected by ultrasound next week. I wonder if these could be related????

My Experience...
Sometimes during my tennis warm up I feel some pain in the lower abs because of the jogging motion, but it goes away after few minutes. I guess a good stretch and warm up is needed.
