Went out lastnight on my push bike with daughter just down to shop,was only about 1 mile.

Got back and felt like a was going to pass out and pain today is really sore.is this normal or am I just really unfit.

So annoying that I can't seem to do wee things like this with my family.

Hi hun.

Sorry to hear that you are not feeling well.

I was very fit and and active prior to getting my diagnosis of eendometriosis and Adenomyosis.

I used to run a few days and week and do and do excerise dvd on other days, it literally seemed to get out of control over night. I got a bad dragging feeling down my left leg and sharp pain on my pelvis.

I continued to run for a few more days and pushed through the pain. Then it literally got to the point where I could barely walk.

I get so frustrated I used to alot of cardio excerise, I am no longer able to do that, I do yoga and pilates to help with the pain and they do help sometimes not all the time.

You are definitely not alone in experiencing this hun. Maybe try some yoga I think that helps the most for me at the moment.

Hope this helps

That's ok hun you are welcome.

It isn't in your head hun it's very real and very frustrating 😣.

It just so unfair that endo effects every aspect of our life's.

Yeah it worth trying I hun I find yoga quiet therapeutic. Also pilates is great and something you can add things like the stretch bands, balls, pilates circle to help build some strength and both are great for your core and pelvic floor which is obviously very involved with endometriosis.

I hope it helps hun xx

Nope, it's most likely the endo. I LOVED going on walks on the nature trails. It got to the point where it was so painful for me to walk, that I would walk, then have to stop and 'flamingo' for about 5 minutes before I could walk a bit more again, then stop, then repeat. (flamingo-ing is the term my family calls my stance when I really hurt. I put all my weight on one leg, then rest my other foot on top of the standing foot to try and relieve some of the pressure on my endo for even just a few seconds of relief). I haven't been on my walks for about 2 years now. I have tried every now and again, and it always ends with me in heavy pain for 2 days after. I have recently tried doing squats and planking, thinking I could get back into some sort of shape. Nope, i made it all of 4 days before I had 5 days of severe pain, 2 of which were call off of work pain. (Although it could have been cramps, I have no clue. Still learning this new hysterectomy thing). I am sick and tired of being fat, and every time I think I am winning the war of the endo it reminds me that I am no longer boss.

So frustrating when your head wants to do all theses things bit you body tells you no.

Trying to keep fit is so difficult with endo,and most people just think your making excuses.
