Pain after working out

[Theodora2016]

Does anyone get bad cramping or significant back pain a day after a cardio workout or intense exercise?

Hi, yes I used to be crippled with pain either the night of or the day after. I had severe endometriosis that had stuck a lot of organs together, plus it was throughout the rest of my abdomen. The exercise must have been aggravating it. In the year prior to my surgery I learnt what exercises I could and couldn’t do, I kept a record of my pain and exercises I had done so I knew which ones to avoid.

This is really helpful, thank you. I will start to keep a record of what the triggers are. I dont want to do no exercise but need to balance it with the pain it then leads to.

Yes! After about 25 mins, even with light exercise, I have to lie down because my bowel and abdomen flare up in pain. The funny thing is, I did breathwork during a psychotherapy session, which also triggered a flare. I wonder if it’s the exercise or somehow the breathing?

Thats an interesting thought. Its very annoying as you feel rubbish bloated etc but when you try and do something about it you feel worse!
