Endometriosis was the culprit in my case. I am now 24, but ever since high school I experienced severe cramps during exercise. Eventually other symptoms led me to several doctors, and finally a diagnosis of endometriosis was made. (Finally, after I researched my symptoms and suggested this to a fertility specialist.) I had a laparoscopy to remove the endometriosis adhesions and a non-endo related ovarian cyst. However, endometriosis grows back quickly, and the cramps during exercise also returned. I regulate the disease with oral contraceptives. Research endometriosis and speak with your gynecologist if you suspect this might be your problem. If you do have endo, it is imperative to control it with birth control pills. Of course, consult your gynecologist for all medically relevant action.
