Help to A & E..any ideas please!

AlieOxon agreeing with pompa on this one if it turns out to be less serious then all the better but she should be seen asap,how old is she ?

Quite! Bladder and bowel problems are "red flag" in neurological ocabularuy!
In other words URGENT!

Call 999 and lie !!!. Add a few symptoms that they cannot ignore. I once badly injured a knee cartilage, My Doc phoned the hospital and told them it was probably broken !. When I asked why he had said that when he had just told me it was a torn cartilage, he said they have to see you immediately for a suspected break, a cartilage could take months and the worst they could do was to call him an idiot. ! So even Doctors exaggerate to get their patients seen.

Thanks Jeni.

She may have bruised L1 nerve exit. I would recommend a nisaid cream and something like brufen overnight! If she has a bruise, I would think she probably has muscle spasm. But if you are worried or any bowel or bladder problems call 999 and don't take no for an answer!

No loss of b or b control.
Numb area on the front of her left thigh near the top, about hand size

Bruising between hip and spine left side of back - I haven't seen this and she's vague, can't see it properly herself she says.
(She apparently had a play fight on Tues in a play pool, I wasn't there, she doesn't know how it happened....)

Oh I do!im not counted as medical as I'm retired and away from my home ground!
999is the only way I'm afraid. They won't like it . But with the nhs as it is they have to expect these calls.
Has she any urgent symptoms?
Eg loss of bladder control or bowel
Numbness in the lower regions?
These definitely are an emergency!

St Johns answered and said 'could be quite expensive' and to ring 999.

So, looks like I get to her place in the morning and then ring...

Jeni, I don't think you realise how little pull us non-medical people have....

If no joy from email to the St Johns, I will try in the morning - no way do we want to be there on a holiday Friday night!

Will do - thanks.
Any other thoughts still welcome.......

Call gp. Insist on home visit. Tell them you can't get her to hospital ! INSIST DOCTOR OR AMBULANCE COME!

Try your local St John Ambulance. When I was a member we helped with transport.
