I often feel like I’m stretching but I’m not. Happens when I stand after sitting. Also happens randomly throughout the day. Anyone else?

Hi lovely57, it seems not many others (no one?) experience this. Well I do experience something along the same lines: my lower back is my worst chronic pain location and, mainly when I’m laying down, I feel like my back is arching in a backwards stretch to the point where it might snap in two. It’s an alarming sensation and I always have to check I’m not actually doing it, ie arching backwards, and always find that I’m not. It’s a phantom sensation I guess like yours.
