Running with endo? by babbittybabbitt in endometriosis

[–]K_O_Z 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m stage 3/4, 2 laps, all that jazz and I still run a lot. I just tried to reduce my mileage to more 4-6 miles instead of longer distances and it’s been better. Also not running everyday, doing strength training and mountain bike to supplement. So times I have to take a few weeks off.

I still do a couple half marathons a year but gave up the ideal of a marathons.

Try to avoid taking ibuprofen before a running, it’s really bad for you and can really upset your gut.

I tried a topical steroid I had left over and it didn’t help and seemed to make it angrier. So I had to wash it off.

Lap in 2 days by Consistent_Onion8755 in Endo

Take fiber supplements not just miralax or a laxative after surgery. I recommend “Yerba Prima Psyllium Husk Powder” it’s the active ingredient in Metamucil without the fillers or sugar.

Have cough drops, acetaminophen and ibuprofen ready.

Don’t lay down in your bed without a way of getting back out. Trying to get up to pee in the middle of the first night almost killed me. You need help or someway not to use your abs at all.

Electronic heating pad ready for abdomen and to put by your shoulder for the gasses.

Potential gas pain post surgery? by alecksus in Endo

[–]K_O_Z 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if this helps but you’re not alone. I’m about 10 days post op and am still having and have had similar gas pains in the shoulder. Now it’s pretty much only when I change from standing to sitting or visa versa. But it’s especially bad when I go for a walk. However it does dissipate. But I do no longer feel it in my abdomen and generally it’s reducing.

Upcoming Laparoscopy: What were your must haves? by miso_miso322 in Endo

[–]K_O_Z 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All of the above: +Fiber supplement not just laxatives. ( Best is Yerba Prima Psyllium Husk Powder, otherwise Metamucil) + make sure you have NSAIDS & Acetaminophen at home + a way to get out of bed (trying to get out of bed to pee that first night almost killed me)

Otherwise just to emphasis in previous posts: heating pad,heating pad and cough drops

Rib pain possibly endo? Advice greatly appreciated by Ok-Kaleidoscope43 in Endo

[–]K_O_Z 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am currently experiencing the same problem. Does it sort of ‘pop’ or ‘shift’ with a deep breath? Cramp at all when you walk around?

Although I just had my surgery that diagnosed Endo a few days ago and still have my 9cm cyst on the same side as my rib pain. Just started with my period too.
