A word on what these articles are for
They are general information, not clinical advice, and reading one is not a substitute for being examined. What they are good for is working out whether what you have is worth doing something about, roughly what that something would be, and which kind of practitioner deals with it.
If you would rather ask about your own situation than read around it, send the question through — answered within one business day.
