Should I ring 111

I woke up this morning with an awful back. It feels like a nerve has been trapped half way down. Pain when I move even slightly and seems to be painful in ribs too.

I have history of back pain but just general aches. usually I have trapped nerve in hip which causes sciatica which I'm under physio for.

So far today I've taken ibuprofen which hasn't touched it, used my electric massage machine, done gentle stretches, had a hot shower. I have a 2 yo so isn't making it easy. Have been searching online as I don't know whether to ring 111 and it's not clear whether I should get it checked or wait til Monday. I also suffer with carpal tunnel. If anyone could advise this would be great.

Can you wee and poo normally?

If you ring 111 they can assess you and give guidance as to whether it's something that can wait until Monday.

Yes the wee and poo hasn't been affected. Just don't want to make it worse but if you think they can tell me over the phone I probably should call them!
