Abdominal discomfort.
Not sure what to call this but I thought I would start tracking it; see if there is a pattern.
Pain is in right abdomen just at the crest of my hip. It's not constant but has been off and on for the past 3 days.
A few weeks back - maybe a month or two actually? - I had onset of a similar pain during a run - right side again - and I had to stop as it was a level 3. It came and went for several hours and I crashed and slept for a good long while when I got home.
It's not my cycle but feels similar. I'm speculating it's related and is possibly ovulation. ... That will suck if I have interrupted training/racing ability every two weeks. :o(
Dec 17 - have seen Dr and have had ultrasound. Will be seeing a gyn about possible endometriosis again. ... ugh.
Jan 04 - skiing. Sharp but managable discomfort started about 6km into a 7.5km ski. Pain was on my right side around the crest of the hip bone but inside the soft tissue. After the ski the area felt cramped for a few hours.
Jan 17 - painful cycle again. Had to take Advil for a few days.
Feb 15 - painful onset but calmed with 2 xtra strength Advil. Was able to run without discomfort.
Have increased my water & fiber intake to see if that helps.
Feb 26 - mild cramp on right side, not related to much of anything. One acute and very brief incidence of pain the yesterday in the same area.
No real resolution.
Still working with a doctor on a few things to reduce cramping, stabilize hormones and avoid surgery but not having the same issues I used to. Running and activities affected from time to time but not the same extent and more from fatigue then actual pelvic imbalances.
I'm calling this resolved because, frankly, I'm not interested in paying it any more attention beyond what I have to.
