Hello. Noticed you have been having pain for some time. Wondering if you have seen a pain specialist or orthopedist or another doctor that can evaluate whether there is a physical cause for your pain other than anxiety. I have had anxiety but also chronic pain that has a physical cause rather than anxiety. Sometimes the two are both active, and I have to adjust my schedule and activities on those days and adjust my medication. What do you think about checking out the possibility you do have a physical cause for the pain?

I went to back doctor and he did X-rays and said there was no fracture. Called family doctor and he said see back doctor. I called back doctor and the nurse said well it won't go away in a day. I know it's anxiety but I'm afraid of anxiety and I'm afraid muscles will get tighter and I won't be able to move. It's upper back, lower back, hips, ribs. It's so hard to get out of bed or walk.

Try not to get upset, if you have sore muscles it will take time to heal ask your doc if psyio will help.
