aaagh - should i just go to A & E?

[RubySlippers]

i have had a really bad pain in my left leg for a few days now
i don't usually worry about stuff like this but i have a history of DVT and this feels like the beginnings of something (or it may not be and i am being paranoid)
if i go to my GP there is a good chance he will send me straight to A & E but if it isn't something sinister i don't want to waste their time
i am sat at work debating what to do
I need to get DS from nursery and then wait for DH to get home so he can look at DS
i have tried in vain to get through to my GP but the phone is permanently engaged

Hi RS - If it feels similar to a previous DVT episode, I would go straight to A&E

Hope you feel better soon

A&E asap.
Good luck.

wimped out as DH won't be home for ages
am waiting for an NHS Direct call back
thanks for the good wishes

Ruby, couldn't you take DS to A&E with you, and get DH to meet you both there?
It really would be best to get it checked out, especially with your past history of DVT.

Take DS and get to A&E NOW!!!! I know I shouted but it could be very important.

Good Luck!
