How to Search on Connect - It can help you!
Do you know about Connect's Search function? I find it really helpful when I want to find a discussion about a symptom that I have and want to connect with other members with similar health problems.
Have you tried it? If not, I would recommend giving it a test run. It's easy, just click the small magnifying glass icon at the top of the window next to the little notifications bell.
Has it helped you? Let others know!

I cannot start a new discussion. I followed directions but do not see a tab for "start a new discussion". I want to discuss tinnitus but the only thing that comes up in search is "hearing loss". Can you please help me or start the discussion for me?
You should see "Start a new discussion" right under "Search Discussions".
I've overlooked it myself at times.

@scottrl also provided some help with pictures. Thanks, Scott.
Carol, I see you have joined an existing discussion on tinnitus (https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/tinnitus-15/), which is the better way to connect with others.
Using the search function, I see there are a variety of discussions about tinnitus - over 140 discussions.

2 ReactionsI don’t have a computer at this time. Can I use my IPhone to see a discussion on nerve pain or nerve damage in the mouth after having a tooth removed. A burning pain. Thank you

1 ReactionWelcome @dannasims50 - Yes, you can use your iPhone to see a discussion on nerve pain after you have a tooth removed. I did a quick search by clicking the magnifying glass icon at the top of screen and typing "nerve pain tooth" without the quotes. Here are the search results - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/search/ if you want to look through the discussions and comments. I didn't see a specific discussion but this discussion sounds like it could be helpful to read through the comments:
--- Mouth pain over a year, no help or end in sight: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mouth-pain-over-a-year-no-help-or-end-in-sight/.
Have you discussed the nerve pain with your dentist or doctor?
