Your body is trying to tell you something. . .but you don't understand the message. You're in pain. . .but you don't know if it's serious or not. Should you see a doctor? Or can you safely treat the discomfort at home and save the expense of an office visit? If you learn to recognize your body's health warnings, you can help add healthy, productive years to your life.
