Stitches

why do I keep getting stitches in my side?

I went to barcelona last week.My parents didn't want to get the metro so we walked everywhere.I say we walked 4 or 5 km.since then everytime I walk I'm getting terrible stitches in my side usually in my right.Even if i walk slow or fast i get it in less than a minute!why am i getting them?did I pull something?but most importanly will it go away?

1. People commonly get stitches when they eat or drink something, followed by intense activity such as walking... maybe this applies to you
2. This happened to me as well - I was simply dehydrated, so I beefed up my water consumption and it hasn't happened since!
3. I'm glad that someone else has this problem, too! Well, you know what I mean. Whenever I run, I get these horrible, and, very painful stitches all on one side. I don't even eat anymore when I know that I have to run because I figured that food would be the culprit! But it's not! I don't know what to do to prevent it....if you find the answer, please tell me, too!
4. do you run a lot if so its because when you run you use parts of your lungs witch you havent used in a while
