As above I slipped on water in the bedroom and banged my back against the wall. First of all the pain was bearable but yesterday incredibly painful.
My sister did ring local hospital just to ask where our nearest walk in is but the receptionist insisted the doctor ring me back. He rang after 2 hours
Told me I must walk up and down the floor and take cocodomal. It hasn't worked as the pain has gone down to the thigh making it difficult to walk.
I am in Benendon too and have let them know so I am awaiting on a contact.
Nevertheless what is i am looking for - a scan, x-ray or painrelieving injection. so so painful thanks for any answers guy

It will be interesting to see what Sqad say but my (totally uneducated) guess is sciatica, brought on by a herniated (= slipped) disc.
The usual treatment is nothing more than over-the-counter painkillers, plus a combination of rest and gentle exercise, with the condition gradually improving as time goes on. However, if the pain is bad (or the problem is taking longer to clear up than usual), a GP might try something else, such as a steroid injection.
Whatever the cause though, I hope that you'll be fully fit and dancing the can-can again soon ;-)

^^^ Even private hospitals can have waiting lists, Helen, (which are probably made longer by the number of people switching from NHS to private provision due to the length of NHS lists!).
My friend and I both had the same op a couple of years ago. Mine was on the NHS and, apart from the wait required at that time to prove I hadn't got Covid before being admitted to hospital, happened almost immediately after the need for it was recognised. My friend went private and had to wait a couple of months for his op!
