Yes, it does get better! But very painful for a while. What helped me is I kept a small pillow near and if I could I’d grab it and hold it firmly against my ribs when I’d cough. It did help but still no fun. But better days are coming!

Thanks Cathy! That’s a good idea to keep a pillow close by! I’ve been hugging walls, doors and anything that’s not moving when it happens. So glad to hear it gets better! Thank you x
