Doctors words.....

Learn to reassure yourself, or you'll never get past the anxiety.

I just can’t my back aches so much I can move absolutely fine it’s like a constant nagging ache that’s there and I feel it all in my shoulders and upper back

Focusing on it obsessively won't help.

But what if you still felt pain and thought "meh, stupid back, who cares" and just continued with your day? Wouldn't that be worth working towards?

I wish I could do that

Wishing doesn't help. Working at it does.

I get that, I just feel so alone, I’ve been to the doctors so many times and they’ve told me it’s not AS, but I don’t get why I’m feeling this pain, I wake up feeling fine but then within 30mins I ache

That alone tells you it’s mechanical and not AS. With AS, you feel like crap when you wake up and feel better after moving around, not the opposite.

Focusing on AS will only delay the discovery of the real cause, which can very well be muscle knots or something absolutely benign like 95% of back pains.

I have to do that and I have burning pain in my upper back all day, no let up. And I'm a carer.

Come on, Jonny. It's just routine back ache.
