What does it mean when my side or my ribs hurt when i run or walk?? it comes a lot and then stops the next day.

"Side stitch": At 19, your symptoms are most likely muscular in origin. The old term for this was a "side stitch". Try warming up before you exercise and avoid extremes of exertion and it should hopefully improve.
