Detailed Answer:
Hello ma'am and welcome.

Thank you for writing to us.

I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. Burning after injecting methamphetamine can occur due to any of the below listed causes:

+Repeated injection into the same site (which can cause pain and burning sensation)
+Impure and/or poor quality of the salts being used, better to get your product from a trusted and more professional reputed source
+Injection into the artery at times can also cause a burn, but this can have more serious repercussions also, so please be very very careful

I hope I have answered your query in a manner best understood by you. Please do not hesitate to write to me for any further clarifications, I am always here to help.

Best wishes.
