r/medical_advice is a subreddit with 96.7K members. Its distinguishing qualities are that the community is size-large, activity-crazy.
Welcome to r/medical_advice! Advice given on this sub does not constitute professional medical advice. The circumstances do not mimic those of a review by a health professional. Advice is therefore meant for interest only, in an unofficial capacity, or to help point you in the right direction. Assessment, diagnosis and treatment recommendations are not possible, and all suggestions as such are speculative opinions.
