Stomach Pains/Side Aches
Ok first off, I'm 13/f and I've already got my period. Well I play the Clarinet and 2 days ago I was practicing... then all of a sudden my stomach started hurting... It's not really my stomach.. its more of a side ache. Its about 3 inches to the left and right of my belly button. My period came about a week ago. Could this be the reason why? What is it? It like whenever I blow into my clarinet it starts huring more on the left. Sometimes when I take deep breaths in and out it hurts really badly. But if i'm sitting or standing still.. it wont hurt. My grandma says I pulled a muscle there??? Could that be it?? Somebody please help! I'm really worried!

Maybe give some free advice about: Injuries?
First you have to try to decide how bad the pain really is, and is it constant. If the pain is bad, or the pain lingers beyond 3-4 days, then you should prob go see a doctor.
If it just been hurting for less than a full day, it could be something as innocous as gas (sounds wierd I know).
It could be cramps, sure. Or, your grandmother could be partially or totally correct - you do say you were playing the clarinet at the time. If you clenched your stomach muscles you could have a sore or pulled muscle, or even (in an odd case) a potential hernia.
I'm assuming that indeed you have had this pain on and off for two days, and now possibly into the third...if it persists, you might want to go see a doctor. More than likely it is nothing, or minor, but seeing a GP wont hurt...well, maybe in the purse-strings, but thats about it. Though TBH a doctor may not be able to tell for sure either, it might be a case of "Come back in X days if it persists".
BTW, if the only member of your family that you have gone to about this is your Grandmother, try going to mom/dad (unless of course your grandmother is your legal guardian of course lol). They might want to take you in just to be sure.

It sounds to me like you're getting cramps. This is what happens around your period. Basically what it is, is your muscles pushing hard together to squeeze out any more blood. Ack, I know this can be painful, so try a bubble bath, or warm cat on your lap, to relax those muscles.

Well your grandma could be right you can pulla mucsle just about every where you have a muscle. Or it could be cramps you know you don't have to be on your period just to get them. It also could be growing pains since you are still growing but if it go's on for more than a week then maybe you should see a doctor about it just to be sure. Though i'm sure it's nothing to worry about!
hoped i helped and feel better
