awwww man, my neck is killing me! it's day 18 and i'm suffering from chronic neck pain. i looked it up online, and found that smoking could be a factor. apparently smoking affects the spine and vertebrae, and it could take quite sometime before i fully recover from whatever damage i have done.
now that i think about it, i have had quite a bit of back pain through the years - i wonder if it had anything to do with my smoking habit? i always chalked it up to the fact that i used to install carpet, a trade that does not help your back much. i'm starting to think that my smoking may have made it much worse, and i should probably add this to my ever growing list of symptoms.
in any case, i never thought that quitting would be such a pain in the neck! i feel like cravings are the least of my worries with all of the other crap that i'm experiencing. the great thing is that i've almost reached 3 weeks without cigarettes - a milestone that i think will be quite significant.
i guess i'll take some aspirin for now and hope my neck problems go away.
