I think exercise in any form would be beneficial depending on your current status. I have to go back in for surgeries this month because i have an ovary that has turned vertical and is stuck behind my uterus and the other one has attached itself to my intestines. So, it would not be a good idea for me to start gyrating my hips currently. If my ovaries weren't so screwed up tho...I would go for it. Sounds like fun.

6 weeks following surgery I plan on going in for some massage therapy before starting an exercise program, as long as my doctor says its ok and following an ultrasound so that I don't inadvertently injure myself. I found a great Massage Therapist that in the past was (externally) able to break up some of my adhesions and it gave me quite a bit of relief for awhile. She was able to help realign my hips as well and showed me some great exercises to help stretch them out and loosen/relieve some of my sciatic pain.

Just wanted to share with you what I have found helpful and to give you my advice on the subject... If you haven't been active for awhile, i would get a check up and get an all clear from your gyno before starting any new exercise program. Would hate to see you end up spraining your sacral chakras. : )

I agree with thatotherchick exercise helps. I think you need to find what works for you however. Personally I have found Pilates to make me worse, for example. I do however find Bikram yoga helps me immensely. I also pole dance and I run long distance (when I feel up to it). Try it out and see how you go? Or perhaps you have tried already?

I see you were looking at PT. I'd say to look into massage therapy as well. Not just a spa, but medical massage therapy. Some insurers cover it if you go to a licensed massage therapist (requires 500 or more hours of specific training depending on the state). Your physician should be able to refer to the right provider to get some real help.

No haven't started yet, just something I was looking into. I was also figuring because it deals a lot with the lower 1/2 of your body it might be helpful to the endo. So that is why I was questioning to see if anyone else did it. I know with some types of exercise it can go either way for us.

As far as Massage, I too find that is the only thing that helps, not only with pain but I feel more energetic and more positive about things. I have done reflexology and full body. I also found a woman who does Ancient Mayan Abdominal Massage dealing specifically with PCOS and Endo. Unfortunately I don't have ins. and she is really pricey so that is on the back burner for the moment, but would love to go and see her and see what she has to say and see what the treatments are like.

Thanks for the advice...I'm glad about the massage, I was beginning to think it was only me that got any type of relief from it. :)
