bone fracture and smoking

hello all. i have broken my femur and had im rod inserted a month ago.. about a week ago i started smoking 1-2 small ciggarettes of cannabis mixed with tobacco, it helps me relax and forget my problem.

i know smoking is bad for my condition, my question is the amount of smoking i do considered "real" smoking that can affect my situation more badly than the bennefits i get from it?

thanx a lot

Please not NSAIDs.  Those are very bad, can cause heart attacks and strokes.  Use something else.

Hello!

There is no concession or 2nd thought about smoking tobacco or doing drugs. Stop taking them and remember there are pain killers to provide you relief.

Talk with your orthopedician and he will prescribe your appropriate NSAIDs.

Take care!
