ABSTRACT
Pain of psychogenic origin can be as frequently related to the musculoskeletal system as it is to the cardiovascular and gastrointestinal systems. We report here two patients who presented with rheumatic pains. Both were subsequently found to have an underlying psychogenic disorder though they were initially diagnosed to have a distinct rheumatic disease. It is easy for doctors to create nondisease when diagnosis is based mainly on investigative results. The practical points in recognising such patients are briefly discussed.
