I'm sat at work in agony with a hot water bottle just now. I had my appendices removed about 7 years ago, I know they can't grow back, but the pain is incredible and exactly the same as when I had appendicitis. What could it be? I don't want to waste time going to the minor injuries / A&E for it to be nothing. There's people needing proper urgent care and I've no chance seeing my GP. FWIW I manage a team of 35 and recently returned from a car accident (fractured sternum) the director would hit the roof if I needed more time off [hmm]. My colleagues reckon if I call the NHS non emergency number I'll just get told to go to my local hospital. I have a really high pain threshold so it's bothering me it's not easing off or just doing one [angry] Hope I'm posting in the right place [smile]
