Dr. Web

Many people use the Internet to "research" symptoms and remedies for any aliment imaginable. From hypochondriac to minimalist, Internet searches provide return after return offering information for readers of all desires. I tend to fall into the minimalist category. When I seek online medical advice I tend to search for articles until I find a source, with an ounce of credibility, which suggests the situation will dissipate or most importantly does not require medical attention.

My recent issue with my mysterious and dreadfully painful lower back proved to be no exception. I spent several predawn mornings scouring through web based articles. Living in pain in not my thing. It was my initial plan to seek medical advice after the fourth day with no relief, especially since the Internet gave me little hope.

Listen to your body and to actual medical professionals.
