Abu, it's good that you are here and are able to give support to posters who are suffering and in pain. I think that would always be very welcome here.
But there's a difference between support and advice - while emotional and practical support nearly always works, giving advice doesn't, very often, because people are different, and each person suffers in different ways. What works for one person doesn't necessarily work for another.
I don't think we have anyone in the forum who is medically trained, and medical advice needs to come from someone who has the qualifications to give it. That's why posters here mostly refrain from giving such advice, beyond recommending consultation with a medical professional, because the advice could be misinterpreted, or it might not be the right advice for the person concerned.
I hope you will stick around the forum, and continue to post here, but please be sensitive to the individual emotional needs of others.
