i know u prob bit concerned bout this and you have every right to be, but i think you can wait till monday to call your doctors. emergency docs will only refer you and i think you will have to wait for referral till monday anyway. if you are in serious pain then yes call them but if not try and wait

Ring NHS Direct they are the ones to advise you regarding this problem. Don't worry, it is not a real Emergency, so l there is no need to call an Emergency Doctor this only takes his away from really urgent cases.
If you decide to wait, then call your Doctor on Monday and make sure your get an appointment straight a way.
Don't take no for an answer from the Receptionist.
Good Luck

It's not really an emergency, so I dont think they'd be so pleased. If you're really concerned though ring the NHS helpline or go sit in A+E until the early 25th century. Health Question & Answer
