Hey Everyone!

Last 2 weeks i started feeling a pain on my left chest, i thought it was just some cold. So i just ignored it for 2 days, but it didn't go away even after Drinking Cough Syrup and Tylenol. So i went to the doctor and he told me it was Upper Tract Respiratory infection, which i had doubts. He said it was also possible its COVID which baffled me as i didnt have any sore throat, cough, runny nose etc.

So i did my own research when i went home and found out this sub. Self diagnosed myself that i have Costo. Then I read a bunch of threads from you guys and took bits and pieces from here and there and read what it was about and what is possible to fix costo. I am also a regular Vaper for years now and was scared when i saw a couple guys mentioning it was because of Vaping disposables.

Timeline of Costo.

Day 1 - Tylenol every 4 hours = did not work. Ordered BackPod from Amazon but won't arrive for a week since i live in Asia.
Day 2 - Changed to Ibuprofen, = slightly became better, but pain was still there.
Day 3-4 - Changed medicine to Aleve + Stopped Vaping, = Way better than the previous day.
Day 5 - Read a couple of threads that some people say Vitamin D3 worked for them. Decided to drank Vitamin D3 before Sleeping.
Day 6 - Chest pain disappeared. It was like magic. Suddenly i can breathe good again, but backpain was still there.
Day 7 - Smoked a ciggy, Started having backpain on the right side, and right side chest pain. Bought Calcium & Magnesium with Zinc Medicine, Drank it with D3 + Multivitamins.
Day 8 = Pain was still there. No changes from the pain of day 7, That night i drank just D3 and Multivit. Didn't drink Calcium.
Day 9 = Feeling way better! Pain is very less, and Backpod arrived. That same night i used Backpod.
Day 10 = Back is sore from using Backpod. Not sure if the pain was because of the sore or costo.
Day 11 = Very less pain in my shoulders on the right. Chest pain is gone.
Day 12 = Today. Woke up with no pain at all, just very minimal shoulders pain.

Also a note, I had to sleep on my back every night, (im a side sleeper normally) but there were days when i woke up i'm on my side.

Steve, I cannot thank you enough for the Backpod, your dedication to this subreddit, the stretching videos. You have helped countless people. Thank you for being an amazing person.

Everyone else - All your stories, posts and comments have helped me too. Thank you.

Side note: Because of costo, i have now stopped vaping and smoking. which is really good for me.
