Last January I started to suffer back pain out of the blue it started between shoulder blades moved down to lower back and round to abdomen I was very worried about it.I had lots of bloods done all normal it was put down to anxiety.Everytime I rang the docs they did all they could not to see me so I changed drs. my new Dr referred me for a ct scan which was around last June the scan was from my lungs to my pelvis and was all clear after a clear result I felt reassured and after a week or so all the pains subsided but after a couple months they came back in neck and shoulders and for the last month have had this feeling of a lump in my throat which comes and goes and feels it's there at times when I'm talking I'm finding this all very scarey as I'm worried it may be cancer.

The lump in throat thing can be anxiety related yes, the aches and pains too.

If docs say you are ok then trust their judgment and try not to worry so much.

Keep yourself busy and don't give yourself time to think of things like that. If you do feel anxiety kicking in go do something to take your mind off it.

Anxiety wont harm you, you just need to learn to tell yourself that and keep your brain occupied with other things.

Sounds like anxiety for sure. For your described pains, I suggest to see a good chiropractor.
