People are still posting way more General Medical Questions than the First Aid Forum is designed to answer. We are not and CANNOT be a replacement for your doctor/ health care provider. If you have a problem which you think needs to see a doctor then you need to see them, NOT ask us. If you are unsure who to see we can point you in the right direction but other than that there is little we can do. We cannot examine you and because of that we have no powers to diagnose you, no one on here has and so we can do nothing other than tell you whether it is normal/ not and guide you in the right direction. If you want a diagnosis or want us to find you a way to get around seeing your doctor then you are asking questions that shouldn't be asked here.

We are an SH site and therefore are designed to answer questions on SH/ED/Mental Health problems, not primarily other medical problems as they are dependent on many factors; we do a bit of General Medical stuff but as I've said, that is designed to do nothing much more than point you in the right direction/ reassure you that it is normal.

Can you please think what you're wanting before you post a "General Medical" thread

This reminder is not based on any thread in particular; just if you look down the list the number of general medical questions compared to ED/SH ones is very high.
