    First off, I can’t find the correct thread for this so apologies if this isn’t it.

    I’ve a little issue the past 2 weeks the s starting to worry me.

    I’ve had a pain in my lower back/lower abdomen and also feels like it’s in the left side of my testicles.

    It might be nothing. I can’t feel anything abnormal but my testicles are tender to touch.

    I don’t really want to visit my local GP as I know her very well. Is there anywhere in a hospital where you can have these things checked?

    A&E is your only option in the hospital.

    Hi OP

    As advised above, unless you are being referred to a particular department of a hospital by a GP then you'd need to go to A&E for admission.

    Can you not try another GP? It's your only option really apart from presenting to A&E.

    As medical advice is against the charter rules and your only course of action is to speak to a medical professional, I'm afraid I have to close this thread.
