My wife did her research for her condition and her doctor argued with her. She switched to a specialist. She found out she was correct and the first doctor was wrong.
I know of someone who disputed what her doctor told her because she got contrary information off of Pinterest. She got mad when the doctor refused to prescribe medication she wanted after her “exhaustive” online research. He told her to go to medical school, become a doctor and to find another physician if she was unhappy with him.

Hope she has good insurance. The Dr. will want to run a lot of tests, maybe take some x-rays too, just as a precaution.

Why do you think Dr’s call their practice, A PRACTICE ? ?

I don’t scan those websites; I can get paranoid enough about my health without additional health.

Be careful about reading health books. You may die of a misprint. — Mark Twain
Now just bring that thought forward a few years and replace the word “books” with the word “websites”….

Wait until they have AIs feeding you questions on those sites.
