Reply to "Does situps/crunches or lifting weights bother your J-pouch personally"

Dr Shen has been my GI for 12 years and I have been through 2 jpouches due to leaks/ sinus', and fistulas and I never worked out or lifted weights. I also had a hernia repair. I always lived in fear of creating more issues my doing core exercises. Well now I am dealing with chronic lower back pain because my core is so weak and putting all the strain on my back. I started going to PT and started doing core strengthening like crunches and my back pain has greatly improved. I wont do heavy weights but I will for sure continue to do core exercises for my lower back..
