I absolutely agree with pea soup. It's unfortunate when people have to demand attention from doctors, but I think that's what you need to do here. If your GP won't listen, go to the emergency room or a walk-in clinic. Hell, go to every clinic in town and see a dozen different doctors. Something is clearly very wrong and it should be treated quickly.

The same sort of thing happened to my mother a few years ago. They discovered a large fibroid on her uterus, said it was benign and that they would keep an eye on it. She developed more and more problems because of it but the doctors just kept saying "come back in six months and we'll check again." Eventually the bleeding got so bad that she had to yell at the doctor to do another scan. She was immediately admitted to the hospital and underwent an emergency hysterectomy THAT DAY. She could have died because the doctors were just "keeping an eye on things." I'm sorry, but no one knows your body better than you do and if you feel like something is wrong, yell and scream and do whatever it takes to get help.

I hope you're feeling better soon, this must be very stressful and frustrating! Best of luck.
