Can I suggest you write to Pat Roche at Queensland Univeristy - she is a Physio + psychologist who just completed her degree doing research on a similar population. Also there's a Professor Nick Bellamy in QLD who used to be in Canada where he developed a questionnaire along similar lines for the RA population. I think if you run his name in medline you can get a number of his references.

One could talk hours about your question. Have you conducted a study yet? Have a look in the worldheadlines on the homepage, it gives you some info on pain meassurement, you can get the article through good libraries. Also I found a website in the UK rheumatology.oupjournals.org (it did not have www. infront). Maybee they can help you.
