My first osteopath appt my pain dropped 80% but my 2nd and 3rd appt no improvement and I seem to be getting worse again!
Is this normal? I know you said it took like 10 appts cause of how long you had your issue and Ive had mine a while as well.
Does this follow your pattern for recovery at all?

I’m glad the first visit improved the pain 80%. That’s huge! Sorry it’s getting worse again. Are you still in treatment or was there a period without treatment before it got worse?
My 10 visits was for my chronic whiplash pain and then I had 4 more visits right after that for the costochondritis. It fixed it at the time but not forever. That was 37 years ago so details are fuzzy but I had many more flair ups over time triggered by physical activity or stress. I’m very careful about what I do and it has been much better the past 20 years. My ribs are always tender but not the paralyzing upper chest and upper back pain I had from flair ups.
Do you have trouble lying down in bed? For 30 years I couldn’t be in bed more than 6 hours before pain set in but it would go away within 30 minutes of getting up. That issue has been better since I stopped working 5 years ago so stress relief. Whenever I’m in the hospital it’s a major issue and I have to move to a chair.
What does your osteopath have to say about it all?
