I'd take the advice into account. By giving opinions before seeing a doctor, you become more useful to the doctor by possibly asking them what it could be. it is like opening more doors. When i mkae threads on here, i listen to the advice and then if i feel that there is a key point to it, i will ask my doctor about it. I think closing threads because they may be "scaremongering" is not really a very good reason. Of course the simple answer is to see the doctor, but the person who made it obviously wants to know peoples opinions about it at the same time.
