Hi
Does anyone know what the latest advice is about running and endo? I was always encouraged to run by a long time endo specialist who has since moved on. This week a podiatrist has advised avoiding high impact exercise such as running because it can be inflammatory.
Before I hang up my running shoes and take up swimming and cycling I thought I would ask here incase anyone has any recent experience or knowledge about it.
A bit about my history - I was diagnosed with stage 4 endo in 1997 and have had multiple surgeries and treatments over the years. The latest was total abdominal hysterectomy in 2021. I have endo in my bowel and around my urethra. Am taking HRT - including oestrogen, 200mg progesterone and testosterone. I have run 2 half marathons and walked a marathon since 2021 yet have found it a tough recovery each time. I had bad achilles inflammation after the marathon and am working on strengthening my core ...still!
Thanks very much
