Seems like so little is known. Why do some women have pain and others not? (rhetorical question, I don't think there is an answer) Sort of like asking why some women recur and other do not.

Given that exercize is proven to help survival stats and to help control estrogen, etc. it's alarming that it might be prohibitive if these side affects get severe enough. But it sounds like some are getting benefit from yoga and the like.
