I know it's really hard to "switch off" when there is this constant pain... Try though, try your damndest.

I was in pain for almost 3 years before I was diagnosed and apart from anti-inflammatories once in a while, I had 0 pain relief. It wasn't even addressed until I got diagnosed, just never talked about. My doctors (all specialists, orthopedists) were clueless. There is no better word to describe it, unfortunately. They all stood there and saw the symptoms, but just... I don't know had a black out, I guess, when they were looking for a diagnosis.
