    hi jim. i'm wondering why ur considering it to me 'somatisation'? joint pain can have many causes from many different types of rheumatism to fibromyalgia, to auto-immune conditions etc. it's best to go to the GP & gave some blood work-ups done & take it from there.

    all good luck

      Hi, I've been given that disorder by a doc, had blood tests in past and they've told me it's the anxiety disorder. It's a pain on the elbow joint getting worse.

      hi jim. docs tend to fob ppl off with this kind of diagnosis. u may have arthritis in that elbow & Doc won't know that without an x- ray and bloods to rule out inflammation, RA, auto-immune disorders etc. one can be anxious as well as having an inflammatory condition. have they diven u some pain relief or anti-inflammatories.
