Maybe this is what people mean when they say '...the NHS is a joke." but about 2 weeks ago I thought I pulled a muscle in my leg, and its failed to clear up, and its sorta developed into a constant ache in my side/stomach, just beside the meat and veg, so I called to see the doctor, becasue I thought it could be a hernia. It could also simply be a muscle thing, and I'd just need to see a physio, but I've been told the earliest I can be seen is Feb 4th. Is there any other way, like call up a service that will be able to give me a diagnosis, because I've a feeling its not that serious to go to the doctor.
