just to put some numbers to that... assuming you are filing HOH, the standard deduction is $18,350 and only the medical expenses that exceed 7.5% of your Adjusted Gross Income are tax deductible.
So if you think you have a lot of medical expenses and your income is low, it's worth a try to go itemized (which TT will figure out whether standard is still better once you input everything), as noted above, it's a 'tall bar' to meet. But the point is you'll need more than $18350 in itemized deductions to make it worth your while.
