side stitch

a stitch?
That's what I've heard it called. Sometimes it happens when you laugh too much.

I found the following exerpt from ASK YAHOO:

"A side stitch is a piercing sensation just below the ribcage, usually felt when you're running. In the past, several different theories tried to explain the cause: trapped gas, swollen liver, stomach muscle cramps. However a recent and fairly conclusive theory holds that strain on the ligaments connecting the liver to the diaphragm is the cause."

If you want to read more about it go to the website I posted below.
