I have this ongoing pain that no matter what I think is or feel is always lingering... I can't help but think I have something serious wrong? It's just unusual because I can't handle this aching deep pain which at times gives me a burning sensation right throughout my thoracic area to my chest. What's unusual is it doesn't stop me from bending, stretching, walking, sitting, sleeping or anything but it hurts all the time... I know Dr Sarno says to keep doing the activities you used to do. Well really it hasn't stopped me but why can't I get rid of this pain? I meditate most days, do visialisations of good health and healing, journal occasionally, vent my frustrations everyday at home to my family as I am a very stressed mum of 3 year old twins and an 11 year old and I find the twins run me to the ground physically and emotionally.
I actually feel like I'm angry and screaming.. It's not good! I hate feeling this way. I even feel frustrated that they wake up at night and come into my bed every night, the play up to eat dinner every day it's a never ending stress I can't escape right now and no matter how much I vent I still feel tense!
I suppose what I'm thinking is I'm probably not convinced its TMS because no matter what I think or do I'm in pain. I just don't know how to think positive when I'm in pain it's so very hard.. I am going for an MRI on Thursday for peace of mind and I truly pray I don't have anything seriously wrong. Half of my problem is I google to much and assume the worst! Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong or tips on beating the pain and thoughts?
Thanks

Balto, you made me laugh... Yes it is extremely hard work, try having twins who are about to turn 3!! They are my love and my world but boy do they drive me insane! When you're not feeling great it does get on top of you. I find myself wishing the years away and wanting them to grow up quickly and I shouldn't do that I feel guilty at times. 
I have another question if someone can answer it. In the mornings I wake up with a sore lower back pain I think it's like stiffness from the bed. I'm only 40 but I have been experiencing this for a few years. It usually eases off as the morning goes but sometimes the lower back aches a bit still. I haven't mentioned it on here because my upper back pain is my main concern as it affects me.
My question is do you think this is stiffness that comes with age and bein in bed all night? Or could this be another symptom of TMS? Thanks for the advice in advance.

I have lots of respect for people who have more than 1 kid. I have just one kid. She run this family. Our live revolve around her.
If I don't believe in hell, I would have done some if not most of what Dustin said in his post above. :)

Yes, I still have pain...but it's different pain...the pain path, while generally in the same place, has actually changed slightly. It's as if the "injury" I have had for the last 12 years has suddenly changed. Since starting on my TMS healing journey, my pain levels have decreased, but I still can't stop monitoring them...so there's still pain there...but there are moments when I am out and about where I feel like I'm completely pain-free...something that hasn't happened in many years.
Keep it up!

Thank you Dustin for a great reply. So after 12 years do you still have that pain? I've had my pain for so long it's like part of me, I find it hard to imagine it not being there. It's a strange pain like an ache only when I stretch my shoulders back or inhale deeply. It never stops me from any activities it's just deep inside. It has eased off as the past few months it got really bad it was affecting my chest area as well and that was unbearable... Thank God that has eased off, I believe it has due to meditation and focusing my mind on other things other than the pain.
Thanks once again Dustin, it's great to hear other peoples opinions, sometimes you just can't see yourself what you're doing wrong.

What will you consider to be "seriously wrong"? Just keep in mind...HNP (herniated disc), DDD (degernerative disc disease), pinched nerve, stenosis, misalignment, scoliosis, and any number of other "structural abnormalities" are "basically normal". Getting the MRI to rule out something genuinely serious like cancerous tumors is not a bad idea, just don't let the diagnosis of something structural impede your healing.
TMS doesn't HAVE to move around. I had the same pain in the same spot (low back/buttock/left leg with the same pain path in the left leg) for 12 years. Out of the blue, my pain changed about 3 months ago...same place, but different pain path and different sensations. Since I started learning about TMS, that pain has remained constant, but I have experienced other TMS symptoms moving around.
Stop letting Google lead you down the path of worry. Focus on the emotions rather than the symptoms. As a father of 2 under 2, I have only a small sense of what you're going through with twin 3-year-olds and an 11 year-old. It's extremely frustrating to deal with those little human beings whose ego/superego personalities have not yet developed and you're dealing with just a human id. It makes you want to scream, yell, throw an adult tantrum and end in cannibalism...makes you understand why there are actually animals in the animal kingdom who eat their young. That said...it's OK to be angry. Don't suppress it, just find healthy ways to discharge it. Mediation, visualization...good choices...don't forget to GET PHYSICAL.
Most importantly, stop fearing. Once you get your "clean bill of health" from the doctor...focus on doing the things you love to do and if you hurt...it's ok...just keep doing them and stop letting pain be a distraction or a source of fear or a source of worry or a distraction of any kind...focus on YOU, your LIFE, and your EMOTIONS. Be mindful of now. If you have some tough memories in the past, discharge them and replace them with positive emotions and forgiveness.
Don't doubt. If you do, you fuel the fire. Stop "trying to heal" and just get to living and loving life.

Another thing I forgot to mention is the pain is always in the same area and doesn't really move around like true TMS!? This worries me too. The only way it moved us sometimes its stabbing pains veering to the right sometimes to the left but the central part of the thoracic, i think T5 area is always sore even if I touch the bone it's sore and the area near the bone is sore. And now as of feb 2012 also the chest ache. Can this all be TMS?
