Yeah I used to get the exact same pains in my back at the top mainly. Have you had any ECG's? I had the pain whilst my 24 hour heart monitor was on and all came back clear so you know the pains are nothing drastic and are muscle aches I was in agony with mine! X

Yes all test have been done. Mine is the lower back. They tell me it is due to the anxiety.

Severe lower back pain was the first thing that was wrong with me in a long line of symptoms that have so far led me to believe I have anxiety. Started in August. Rarely have a day where it doesn't hurt. I thought I had strained my back or had a disc problem. I had two MRIs and a CT with a neurologist. They said, mechanically, I'm perfectly fine except for a disc that's bulging a little bit outwards in my neck. But they said that's not uncommon for my age and line of work. Best I can figure it's because of the way I sit and being tense most of the time. I also have aches that extend from my lower back into my legs. I stretch and massage my upper thigh with my elbow.

Mine is my neck and shoulder it is so tight right now, made me lightheaded and tired

For the last few months my neck and shoulders have been sore nearly everyday. It's just starting to let up. I get a day here and there when they aren't. Today they aren't tomorrow probably will be because of pressure at work.
