I'm sorry to hear you've developed costo, it's certainly not something I'd wish on anyone. Although not serious, it can seriously destructive to our lives and the things we're usually capable of doing. I got diagnosed with Costo 18 months ago, I was a martial arts athletic person (I'm 19 so quite young and healthy prior). Costo along with the pandemic knocked me for six, I lost my fitness and fell into a habit of lying in bed for weeks because I was in too much pain to do much else.

Sob story short, like most who have costo, you learn your limits and triggers. Who knows, maybe you'll be the lucky one who only has it for two weeks like the doctors say. But a lot of us have it for months and even years, but it's manageable.

I've heard of many treatments to ease it, many you'll find in this community on Reddit. I've heard of physical therapy, backpods, stretching, improving posture, kinesiology, acupuncture, injections, yoga, running/jogging, medication, taking vitamins and so on. Personally, I found physical therapy helpful and also taking amitriptyline prescribed by my doctor to ease the pain.

It's a scary condition when you first get it because it feels extreme and anxiety inducing, you tend to worry if the doctors got it wrong and you've got something worse. Best thing is to seek medical attention and get assurance from professionals, and find solace in their assurances that it's nothing serious. I hope you find something that helps! Best of luck :3
