There’s so many things that can improve or worsen pain and these things can be different for you versus somewhat else. If it’s the ONLY thing you’re using to determine whether you’re improving, sometimes this can steer you away from something that might work given enough time dedicated to the process
That’s why looking at other factors can be so pivotal for you to assess progress when recovering. This can be things like strength, function, activity tolerance, confidence, mobility, activity levels, etc
This doesn’t mean pain is NEVER a useful measure, it can be and often is. But if it hasn’t gone away in two weeks this doesn’t often mean you aren’t on the right track
