Diverticulitis, diverticulosis, and activities - Diverticulosis

There should be no reason to restrict activity. Most times, exercise may continue as usual. Occasionally, bouncing could cause some discomfort, so some people may find running a problem. However, cycling, rowing, walking, and most other exercises should be well tolerated. If any activity consistently causes pain, a doctor should be consulted rather than just assuming it is the diverticulosis causing the problem. Pain from the uterus and ovaries, prostate, bladder, aorta, kidneys, and pancreas can mimic diverticular pain so it is important to get an accurate diagnosis.
