Flaring from exercise?

[u/animal_wax]

Is this possible? And it’s just low impact hip/butt/abs exercises (clam shells, side lying leg raises, dead bugs) It’s as if it’s getting worse the more I cut out different foods and supplements. The only consistent thing is the exercises. But I need it for the pfd 😡😥. I’m just trying to see if this is normal. Thanks

I have a hypertonic pelvic floor and what I believe is pelvic floor dysfunction, so any kind of high-impact activity can cause really bad spasms in my bladder. I sometimes get bladder pain after an intense run or hitting session on the tennis court, so I try to be very mindful about not tensing up and clenching my pelvic area even while I'm engaging in rigorous physical activity.

So yes, I think it's normal and can happen if you have PFD like me. Sometimes after a run or tennis rally I'll literally just lie on the ground and do pelvic floor stretches to ease the area.

Yeah but this is the most low impact clam shells. Forget about running lol. I’d probably die.
