When I jog the normal amount of time, say 1 hour + while I have a cold, sometimes I get rib cage pain or chest like pain either while or after I run, and the pain continues sometimes for an hour. What can I do to still jog the same amount, but not have pain? Even when I take tylenol and motrin 30 minutes in advance, it doesn t help.
Hi, Rib cage pain is common after running or jogging, especially in those who started these after long time. Causes are multiple ranging from inadequate lung capacity to movement of organs. All you need to do is to go slow, start running for 10 min and then gradually increase it over a period of months and years and not over weeks or days. Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
