Most of my pain definately seemed to stem from cardio and exercises
involving the use of my stomach muscles. Crunches, ball work, and arms.
I have such a pooch now b/c I am afraid to do anything that might
involve my stomach. Yoga bothers me a little bit, but not nearly as bad
as the weights/cardio. Its interesting that your doctor wants you to
increase exercies. I've never heard of the concept of "breaking up"
endo and adhesions. It doesn't seem like that is possible and I would
think it would only serve to aggrivate the scar tissue. Obviously I'm
not a doctor...just sounds weird to me.
