Brief Answer: Please find detailed answer below Detailed Answer: Hi XXXX, Thanks for writing in to us. It looks like you are having an acute reaction to injecting heroin to your foot area. It is possible that you fell out of the vein while injecting the substance and that is the reason why you are having the tingly sensation. Please note that it is best to consult your doctor and take necessary medical guidance should any serious adverse effect be the underlying cause. Substance intake is strongly discouraged for your good health and well being. Wishing you good health and quick recovery. Do write back if you have any doubts. Regards, Dr.Vivek
