What Causes Numbness And Bruising Around The Injecting Sites Of Meth?

I have used meth intravenously over four years ago on an everyday basis. I have relapsed and started using syringes again. It seems like I have more problems now than I did back then. I never missed a shot before until recently, I think. There are 4 areas I m leery about. None of them burned at the time nor do they now. The two in both arms feel more like sore muscles than anything. However there are 2 knots and I m feeling numbness off and on around the areas. The other two areas are bruised and seem to be healing. I was wondering if there were different levels of severity and if there are more sensitive areas that should not be inflicted.
