i am always in some type of pain, back mostly, have been to the doctor for tests but they can’t find any reason for it so I just plod on, it’s usually when I’m on my feet too long but some times I just wake up and it’s sore all day, this last few months I have been getting dull pain in most of my torso, a dull ache in my left lower side, dull pain in chest and collar bone pain under right rib cage…the list goes on. Just constant dull aches. I have an appointment next week about the torso pains but to get to my point, is everyone like this?? DH thinks it’s a part of getting older but I’m only 33! Im 5’8 and 12 stone I don’t think I’m overweight as I carry it very well and would not aibu like to be any slimmer.

Nooo I’m older and have the odd ache

Not at 33!

That’s not normal at 33 for an otherwise fit and healthy person!

Do you have a local osteopath with a keen interest in pain science? Like a medical osteo rather than a woo osteo
