Second, we don't know a thing about the OP's medical history or physical condition. For all we know the cause could be something as minor as a seat misalignment.

Finally, there's nothing inherently wrong with seeking feedback or advice from others -- that's one of the principle reasons website such as this exist -- as long as the adult understands that the primary person that should decide about his well-being remains with his doctor and ultimately, himself.

On a personal note, getting input from others have helped me immensely by offering their experience and keeping me from being the victim of poor medical treatment, i.e., helping me ask the right questions about my treatment, and avoiding pill mill medical practitioners.
