If your friend is unhappy with her doctor she can always change doctors

I really would suggest finding a new GP and explain fully what is happening, write it down if needs be, do not be fobbed off your friend should have someone with her for support. Doctors don't like you to tell them what you think the diagnosis could be however she has every right to be heard. Lou x

I would also recommend finding a new GP if at all possible. If not, she could try going to a local walk-in centre when her pain is particularly bad and seek medical attention. I want to genuinely wish you all the best of luck.

All my hopes and dreams for both of you
