Acute Abdominal Pain After Marathon-HELP!
I ran Boston on Monday and am suffering from severe abdominal pain. What's going on? Has anyone ever had this? My stomach hurts and my intestines hurt. It hurts to talk. It hurts to lay down and sleep. My stomach area looks swollen. Could my stomach/intestines just be inflamed from all the jarring after 26.2 miles? This pain is a physical pain of the stomach, not like a heartburn or "tummy ache" that pepto bismol would take care of... I went to convenient care yesterday, but they are only testing for dehydration. I hardly think dehydration explains acute abdominal pain and I mentioned that, but.... Please let me know if you've felt this and what you did to get better!
Thanks,
Caryn
