Has anyone else had this, who can give me a clue how quick the

The NHS Direct site simply suggests calling 999 !NOW!

Not an expert, but that does not sound like tennis elbow - do a 999!


No no no no no! An ambulance call costs the NHS £100+ and means
highly trained staff are unable to deal with life threatening calls.
Call NHS Direct instead.


Ermm - NHS Direct suggested that the OP uses 999.


Then they should know better. I have every sympathy for the OP's suffering,
but if NHS Direct can't help they should have suggested a visit to A&E -
which is where the ambulance staff would take you anyway - and you don't get
to jump the queue just because an ambulance brought you in.
