Subject: sharp pain in my chest while running?
Hi all, during my 6 mile run today i had a sharp pain in the middle of my chest which made it hard to exhale at times causing me to slow down. I've had this problem before on many runs, but it really got to me today. It's hard to explain, but it's a sharp pain in the middle area of my chest that flares up when I exhale. Any thoughts?

You should definitely go see your doctor. It could be a muscle spasm I guess, but it's really not worth taking a chance if you are having heart problems.

...or a rib could be out of alignment, or a pleural issue..... agreed, you should start with a visit with your primary care provider.

What is your basic fitness level? How long have you been training? How much and how often do you run? When do you run?

It could be a number of things. Of course, the biggest worry is heart problems and you should get your doctor to check on that. It also could be muscle spasms or even indigestion. There's a possibility that it could be a broken rib but that can be ruled out if you haven't been bumped lately.

Deep calf pain can be a tricky problem to deal with, and it’s appropriate that you are paying attention to this pain before it becomes a more debilitating injury.

I can train for half marathons on pavement and on trails, but as soon as I change it up to gravel or loose dirt my knee swells and the pain it causes is unreal. Any ideas why this happens?

Most episodes start with the tearing, giving-way sensation. This is localized about 1-2 cm inside the 10th rib on the side. How I might get a long term solution to this problem?
