I've not had an accident or injured myself. But I've had swollen ankles and swollen wrists for a week now. One fist has swollen up very badly and is warm to touch. I also think I can feel a lump in a vein on my wrist. I can't grip anything and it's agony to walk.
My dad made me fill out the 111 form and it directed me to my local pharmacy. I can't lie, it wasn't very useful. She just recommended I request a blood test from my gp.
I've updated my dad and he thinks I should ignore that and go straight to A and E. Just wondering if that's what other people would do? I can't think straight at the moment and don't know whether I'm coming or going. I've got a lot of trauma from past hospital stays and waiting in a and e with a dog bite for 28 hours, so that might be clouding my judgement and putting me off.
