[QUOTE="Molly56, post: 920891, member: 84857"] [USER=88720]@andreaabbott1[/USER] ...from what you are saying I would think that your husband needs to be seen urgently by a hospital consultant rather than a GP...the weight loss and the leg being cold to the touch sound as if they need urgent investigation ....the GP will only be able to refer him on to specialists to deal with these issues. Also referral to a hospital pain management clinic would probably be best to deal with the pain issue.....my partner was referred by the GP to pain management at the hospital as there are only certain options open to the GP....more specialised pain management can be provided by the hospital team. If possible can you get your husband to agree to go to A&E over the weekend or better still do you have a walk in centre near you that you could approach....details of your local walk in centre can be found at this link.... [URL]http://www.nhs.uk/Service-Search/Walk-in%20centre/LocationSearch/663[/URL] ....if nothing else it will give you peace of mind over the weekend while waiting for the MRI results to come through....if the walk in centre think your husband needs urgent medical attention they will suggest going to A&E anyway but may be a quicker option than either sitting in A&E for hours or waiting for appointment with GP next week. Finally, make sure you take time to look after yourself.... [/QUOTE]
