Hey everyone,
I was just diagnosed with costochondritis about a week ago. I’m on a low dose of neurontin and meloxicam, which has helped a bit, but I’m still in a lot of pain and have been out of work all week.
I’m a light smoker—just 2 or 3 cigarettes a day—and I’m trying to quit completely, but the stress from the pain is making it tough. Do you think smoking could be making my condition worse? Or has anyone else who smokes lightly experienced something similar?
I’d really appreciate any thoughts or advice Thanks
