When Running Breaks Your Vagina | Osteitis Pubis

from Sickboy

What happens when you think you have a stubborn UTI, but you’ve actually fractured your pubic bone from running too many damn marathons? This week, the fellas sit down with Genevieve, a distance runner who woke up one morning feeling like she’d been kicked in the box. Literally. After two months of a particularly painful "detective" mission It turns out she has Osteitis Pubis. A stress fracture in the cartilage where your hip bones meet. Genevieve gets raw and hilarious about the work required to find the truth, the vulnerability of pelvic floor physiotherapy (shoutout to the pelvic wand!), and the identity crisis that happens when your body forces you to stop "Forrest Gumping" your way through life’s problems.Genevieve's Newsletter: https://buttondown.com/NarritivitySceneFollow Sickboy: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sickboypodcastTiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@sickboypodcastDiscord: https://discord.gg/expeUDN
