I've been trying to find more on exercise and adhesions and your post really hit home with me. I have adhesions from a childhood appendectomy, and as an adult, pelvic inflammatory disease and a hysterectomy. My problems with adhesions are mainly from a dysfunctional digestive system, usually not too much pain. Now, looking back on the symptoms I had all my life, from before I knew they were caused by adhesions, I can see that running and jogging, as well as other "bouncy" type exercise (e.g. hiking downhill, where gravity pulls on one's organs the same way as when jogging or running), have always caused my symptoms to worsen, with usually a delayed onset such as you describe. Another symptom I have, headaches, are something I also experience several hours or even a day after exercising. I've just come to this conclusion, and am now trying to figure out what kind of exercise I should do. Have you come to any conclusions about this?

Thanks for writing about this. If anyone else has similar experiences, your posts would be greatly appreciated too!
