Hey Womens:
Do you sometimes get menstrual-like cramps after hard or long runs, but the pain is in the OTHER plumbing area? It feels like some damned heavy cramps, except the discomfort is right next door instead. It is not large bowel, not gas-pain, not a running stitch. And, ummm, nothing looks different down there. So far as I can tell, it is NOT associated with periods themselves, not associated with diet, nor bowel habits, or whatever. I am trying to track its occurences but so far there is no rhyme or reason, and it does not happen after every long run. It's a dull, aching, dense pain, very low down internally, which is directed straight down towards the floor, not radiating up or anywhere. Not one-sided. Only relief for it is NSAIDS which work great thankfully. (i.e., a potty stop "attempt to go" does not help)
Thoughts? Sorry to be so graphic. It's pretty intense discomfort sometimes, so I am looking for info. Thanks!
