It's also called Chronic Pain Syndrome. It's when the person has pain all the time. I'll look up a link and post it in a few minutes.

it doesn't exist. It is not a real disease. There is nothing clinically wrong with people who say (or are told) they have it.
It is what is knows as a psychosomatic disease, where psychological problems cause physical 'symptoms,' in this case chronic pain. No pill or treatment can help it outside of psychotherapy.
