To think I should go to minor injuries?

So it came up blank for key tests that people on here seem to think you should go to A&E for - kidneys, gallbladder etc?

yes - I had similar and it was gallstones too and I had my gallbladder out

No chance you could be pregnant? Ectopic pregnancy typically gives shoulder tip pain, although sounds like your pain is a bit lower than that. Gall bladder is on the right hand side, couldn't be a gall bladder stone or something? Or kidney stone?
I'm no medic, just throwing ideas out there.... Hope you get some proper input soon.

'Try not to worry. It's unlikely to be anything life threatening. Take some painkillers and rub ibuprofen gel on the sore bits?'

Are you my GP from 10 years ago? I was told exactly this when I had exactly the same symptoms which then got critical after about 3 weeks and it was in fact acute pancreatitus caused by a blockage due to gallbladder sludge. And yes, possibly life threatening - I ended up in hospital very unwell and it took a good 6 months and lots of other tests to start feeling better after.
OP please go to the GP asap and dont let them fob you off. You need bloods done and for them to check your pancreas enzyme levels.

i went to A&E as I was having stomach pains, burning sensation, throwing up that included a tiny amount of blood. I was triaged and sent to the surgical department. They wouldn’t do a scan there and then, I had to wait for an appointment to come through which was about a month, then I waited 12 weeks for the results and only got them when I emailed PALS. Was a gallstone but on the list to have my gallbladder removed. To cut an extremely long story short, I ended up paying privately to have it removed due to the severity of the attacks and length of wait on the NHS.

Do get a second opinion.

And the urine test - what did they test for with your urine?

it sounds like you DH is taking it more seriously now which is good!

Well, you certainly now don't go to A&E!! its been seen by a medic and they obviously saw no red flags, so there is no emergency scenario now, that's been checked - if it continues to bother you go to the GP who can organise tests if they think appropriate.

Both sides? Or on one side OP? Did they listen to your heart? Do obs?

You misread or I didn't write clearly as in I mean GP here, in this area would - I'm not a GP.

But the GP doesn't have access in the surgery to any testing resources aside from blood pressure, weight, ECG - anything internal will need an Xray, CT, Ultrasound etc to see what's going on.

I have been sent to A&E by my GP with fairly mild kidney stone pain, I was at work when he called and told me to go to A&E, waited about an hour, had a CT within 45 minutes, stone found, referred on to urology.

In bigger towns where A&E is stretched that I can see would be an issue, but here A&E is generally quiet, 2 hours would be considered a long wait.

That's frustrating they didn't take any bloods. I would go to A+E if it is still persisting, they can do bloods and get an ultrasound scan at the very least to get to the bottom of things.

Go to A & E

You really need bloods and a scan to rule out kidney and gallbladder with stabbing pain.

Go to urgent care. Call 111 first and see if they can get you an appointment. It sounds much like my friends pains which was kidney stones one time and gallbladder the other two!

I had this and it was a kidney infection. I went to A&E and was given IV antibiotics. If I couldn’t get a GP appointment same day I would go to A&E personally as kidney infections can be bad if untreated as can appendicitis, etc. Shooting pains out of nowhere are enough reason imo.

Are you on any type of weight loss injections?
It sounds a little like the symptoms I was warned to look out for. If so, another reason to contact 111.

I was self treating for what I thought was gastroenteritis. Eventually went to a&e, i had appendicitis and had to have an urgent appendectomy and then got peritonitis (my CRP was 439). Ended up being hospitalised for 9 days over christmas, still recovering

I meant to also say n the meantime avoid eating anything fatty becasue if it is gallstones that sets it off. I had the pains for three years but I avoided eating anythign remotely fatty.

have you lost any weight recently? mine came on after I ahd lost some weight

Ignore your DH. mine said the same. I had these pains similar for THREE years and never event went to my GP. I have no idea why at the time I was sos self neglectful and felt unworthy even of basic health care. (I later on had a horrific psychotic breakdwon becasue id ignore symptoms fo anxiety and they said it was due to repressed childhood trauma and neglect. My husband always minimised everythign too so it made it worse because when I asked for help I was ignored.

I would have nights and nights when I was rolling round downstairs with the pain and he would ignore me.

Anyway I went eventually and it was gallstones and I had a gallbladder op but it can be dangerous if left and the gallstones get stuck in the duct

I had this kind of pain for THREE years and my husband told me it was nothign so I never even went to the GP. turns out it was gallstones and I had to have my gallbladder out

Shes been walking her dog so can't be that severe the reason a&e is so over run is because gps and 111 keep sending every patient there. Do you treat patients at all anymore or do you just send them all to a&e
