Q. It hurts, then it doesn't, over and over. Can I just leave it?
A.
Pain that repeats is usually a sign that a ligament is weak or that there is a problem in the movement pattern. Leave the cause and it spreads into other pain.
📝 Detailed Answer
If the pain keeps repeating, there is a good chance a ligament has weakened, or that faulty movement patterns and habits have left a postural imbalance, or that a part of the spine or a joint has stiffened.
The problem is what comes next. To avoid the repeating pain the body takes up a different posture, and that brings on further pain. As this chain continues, it carries over into degenerative conditions.
So if the pain comes and goes, we suggest having it checked once while it is settled.
