As we get older we tend to experience more aches and pains, and for some of us it's very tempting to turn to the internet to diagnose those problems - sometimes so we can tell our doctor what the problem is when we get there.
The C-E-O of the South West Local Health Integration Network suggests while there is a wealth of information on the internet it should not be used as a substitute for our doctor.
Michael Barrett advises if there is a persistent problem there are risks in waiting too long and people should turn first to their doctor if they believe they have a problem.
