Do I go to a&e or wait for GP tomorrow?

I went to my GP with what felt like nerve irritation in my arm/back this week. She's booked me in to see a physio. She's asked me to come back if it gets worse. Last night I woke up with an odd weak sensation in my leg on the same side. I'm scared and tearful as whilst I thought I had just slept funny and went back to sleep, it's is still there this morning. Weak and a tiny bit tingly. I am convinced there is something sinister going on. My gut feeling is screaming at me. Wwyd today?

@TryingTheBestICan can you move it as normal ?

111 will just tell you to go to A&E anyway so I'd head straight there.

How is the leg weak ? Can you explain ? Sounds like a nerve issue to me, so would agree with the others that you should ring 111.

I can't even explain the sensation. It's not numb. Have you ever had a really heavy weight session and your legs feel like jelly after with that weird weak sensation? It feels a bit like that but not as severe.

Agree, call 111 and see what they say. They might offer an ooh gp appointment or send you straight to a&e if they think it's serious.

Any health worries on a weekend that you're not sure can wait for a GP - phone 111, it's literally what it's there for and they may direct to OOH GP rather than waiting in A&E

111 would be able to give you the proper advice rather than on here - ring them and hope it all goes well
