why is no one listening to me

help me please?i am at my wits end .noone is listeneing to me esp my GP.
he wont refer me to a gynaecologist(says HE CANT-which is not a reason)-when i saw my gynaecologist in sept i asked if he can speak to him about my abdomen as it may be  a cyst(i believe it is cos of stories i ahve read on various forums on websites.)he said to get gP to refer me back to him he wont refer me to a gynaecologist(says HE CANT-which is not a reason)-(despite telling him my abdomen has increased by another 3" and is harder lumpier more painful and sore heWILL NOT listen and has said "IT IS JUST YOUR STOMACH)as far as i kknow my stomach is in my upper abdomen th epain etc is mostly  in my lower abdomen and some middle.i cannot sleep fro the pain and discomfort and the tightening around my ribs is worse i am in pain all day and i cannot do anything chores etc taht involve bending over or bending down i also told my gp taht i wa sunable to eat much  just having breakfast cereal in am and  a small  lunch which i couldnt always eat ,.this again fell on deaf ears..I struggle to walk my dogs,
th epain has spread to my groin area and i have been doubled up in pain  from this.

also i ahve been suffering further pain and more hard lumps in my legs and arms so he did agree to refer me to a rheumatologist .i told dr i could have dercums disease(he said he has never heard of this)cos of symptons and lumps in belly.when i checked my appt the request he had put wa sfro joint surgery.this wa sneve rmentioned to me and altho my joints are painful and i do ahve a form of arthritis )it is muscular and nerve pain in joints .i am crying everyday cos of painand discomfort and noone (not even my family)will listen to me.it is stressing my dogs out and i want to go to A&E btu cannot abandon my dogs and cannot get them into kennels until next week.i am desperate

If your scans are negative (assume you have had ultrasounds and a CT) then get a new GP but hopefully your rheumatologist can help.  They generally look at the whole body.  In the mean time try eliminating gluten from your diet and see if some things improve.  I feel for you.

It's bizaar that what you have is so obvious yet nobody will listen.
Is there anything that does not show up on scans, for example, Hernia?
