I have really bad joint pain especially in my left elbow and was wondering if anyone else suffers similar pain or somatisization disorder?

I'm a bit worried it could be something more serious

The absolute first thing that I would do with joint pain is to go and see my doctor.

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.
