Have Pain In Arms, Weakness After Injecting Meth. What Could Be The Reason?

I've been injecting meth for the last two months and after my last shot last night both my arms are extremely weak and hurt. I have never hit anywhere other than my inner elbows. Can you please tell me why this is happening to me? And would it be okay for me to finish off my bag? After this I do plan on quitting.. im really scared.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

I will like to start by saying that you are on prescription (which I doubt) you should see your doctor immediately but if you are taking illegally, then it is best you stop immediately. All substances of abuse always come with tones of side effects and addiction and I will never recommend any body use unless for medical purposes. If you recently started, then there is still time to quit before you really get attached/affected by the drug. Weakness can occur as a side effect of direct intravenous dosing of the medication and other effects when taking orally also occur. My advise is quit it while you still can and no matter how convincing the drug may sound, it is best you do not attempt to continue.
You can see a doctor if you wish for alternative treatment.

Hope this helps
