A member asked:
Are there certain types of illegal drugs that can cause early rheumatoid arthritis or bone deterioration more than others?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many!: Smoking pot impairs healing, as does cigarettes. Narcotics may provide pain relief, but they demotivate and lower testosterone in men. Certainly no illicit drugs such as meth, cocaine, etc. Help the process and/or impair treatment, as does the money wasted!
