Last night, in the middle of the night, my thumb and hand started hurting. A lot. The pain was so bad I couldn't sleep most of the night and painkillers did not help.
Not sure why it is hurting as I don't recall injuring it recently but I want to get it checked out and since I'm supposed to be working today and tomorrow I would rather get is seen to as soon as possible.
Have taken today off as I can't grip or lift anything and my job involves a lot of both.
Only GP appointment I can get is for this afternoon, which is fine but it's very painful and I can't really use my hand in the meantime. Would I be better off going to the minor injuries unit? It's not an emergency so I wouldn't use A&E but would ibu to use minor injuries when I could be seen by the GP?
