Title: Leave it till Monday?
Post by: JamesV6CDX on 15 November 2008, 17:02:15
Just returned from Amsterdam - I feel like rubbish but it's mostly self inflicted (alcohol).  ::)

However, the end of one of my fingers (middle finger) on my left hand is totally numb and tingling, it has been for about 48hours. It's painful to touch, and it's also a bit swollen. In addidion to that, I seem to be in a lot of pain under my left armpit, running down the muscle in my arm.

Don't think it warrants immediate assistance, but it's a right PITA.
Shall I just get the Doc to shoot me?  :D

3/4s of a pint ahead, mate. And it's St Austell Tribute. :-*

Celebrating the fact that I have a properly working wiper motor again. Mark my words. It won't rain for rather ages now. >:(

That needs looking at now. Sounds like an infection, esp if your lymph glands are sore/swollen.

Yes - lymph glands. It's why your armpit hurts. If you are feeling rough it could be the infection, not the beer.

I would give NHS Direct a ring. See what they say...

I wouldn't mention that you might have picked up an infection in Amsterdam though -- no one will listen to any possible explanation after that!  ::)

I wonder if something has stung my finger (looks and feels like it, + swolen) and the armpit pain is the lymph gland flghting the infection?

Online it says 2 weeks before contacting doc.

I am on to NHS Direct now, lines v busy so I'm holding...
