A member asked:

There is this 11 year old girl! she gets a stitch number of times....it's when she runs or strains herself.but it hurts more than a stitchcould it be?

Inadequate stretchin: Have your daughter stretch before her activity. Sign her up in a yoga class. I believe this will prevent injury to her musculoskeletal system.
