Back is a disaster area!

I’ll try to keep this brief. I’m 53 male in the UK. Hypermobility diagnosed with a score of 6, apparently mostly in the entire spine and knees. For various reasons over the last five years I’ve become quite deconditioned as well. Plus I’m autistic. Ive had issues my whole life but nothing that troublesome. The last few years though… wow. My upper back is just a trash fire. Theres clearly a big knot just to the right of the spine by the shoulder blade, but have a frequent aching or burning between the blades. Also lower mid back, around the lower ribs / diaphragm area frequently aches or burns and sometimes make me fail faintly nauseated. Also, seem to have a weird trapped gas thing (oesophageal I think) which increases the back pain I til it’s relieved by burping.
Anyway… the current state is that almost anything, the slightest wrong move is wrecking the thing. For instance yesterday it was all very stiff so stupidly did a brief child’s pose kind of stretch. Today… upper back is in pieces and also pain through my left glute (another frequent issue) Ive been to multiple physios, osteopaths, GPs, acupuncture, you name it, and it’s either done nothing or made everything temporarily
worse. So yeah… just don’t know what to do? Can anyone relate or have any advice? Just fyi.. it’s all definitely mechanical, not visceral.
