Doctors know all this and so are more hesitant to seek treatment. For instance, many try to postpone the need for joint replacement surgery as long as possible.
Why? Well, hip and knee replacements are wonderful operations - but a proportion do go wrong, even in the best orthopaedic hospitals. So, many doctors keep going as long as they can, with the help of painkillers and exercises to improve suppleness.
Of course, certain surgical operations are necessary: 100 per cent of doctors would agree that an operation for bowel cancer is essential, for example.
It's worth doing research on your condition and discussing with your GP whether a drug, operation or test is appropriate or necessary.
