Is Sqad Still Around?

[nailedit]

Havnt been on for a few months.
Got an aching testicle need advice on.

I would see my doctor but after an hour of trying to get through to my surgery, day after day, I just gave up!!!

but after an hour of trying to get through to my surgery, day after day, ...oh dear - what a balls up!

[Tilly2]

Ouch!

[Sqad]

One testicle or both?
Swollen or not?
For how long has it been painful?
Any discharge from your penis?

[nailedit]

Recently went for my 2 yearly eye test as well, and something was detected behind one of my eyes.
Told to book in with GP for extra analysis etc.
Not a chance..

[nailedit]

Ah Sqad!!
Good to see you above ground ;-)

Left testicle,
No discharge,
No discernable swelling,
Had a cyst removed from it 36 yrs ago.
Does seem to be some 'spongy' tissuse above it.

But CAN'T get in to see a bloody GP,

[nailedit]

And my blood pressure still sky high...
See ur GP!!!
I wish!

[Sqad]

Thanks nailit......you haven't mentioned for how long you have had the pain, but, it could be anything at this stage, nothing life threatening.
Take Ibuprofen 400mgms as necessary bur if the pain becomes worse, left testicle swelling and some nausea and vomiting, then go to A&E.

Nailit, can you change to another surgery? There must be more than one surgery in and around Hanley.

Sorry to hear you are in discomfort, but good to see you back with us. Could you try a walk in centre?

//Nailit, can you change to another surgery? There must be more than one surgery in and around Hanley//
My friends and family all have surgerys around Hanley.
They are all the same....
Near impossibility to get to see an actual GP!

I would if there were any left...

You can check out your surgery here. Not sure how accurate it is because it is the Daily Mail after all. Our's came out pretty accurately (not very good) https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-11674249/How-bad-GP-definitive-guide-UKs-NHS-practices.html

There's one at Haywood, High Lane, isn't there?

//There's one at Haywood, High Lane, isn't there?//
My mum died in the Haywood so a little bit of a taboo there Tills.
But was reported that they were only seeing patients who were serously injured a few months ago.

An aching boll*k just wouldnt cut it!!

I want/need to see my GP anyway to sort out my other health issues but it isnt happening,
High blood pressure? Multiple med's not helping?

How about stop harrassing your GP?
Don't dare ask for an appointment.
I cant get an appointment for love nor money with a doctor.
Ive got an aching bollok
Sky high blood pressure
Everytime I pick up my meds from the chemist they are different!
