What Happenes If Your Arm Goes Numb After Injecting Meth?
i been slamming crystal for quite a while now and i never really cared to learn the right way to do it until recently. threw out my years of slamming on occassion my arm i used would start feeling tingly , almost as if it wear asleep. and today it happened again. i been slamming crystal very frequently these past few days, like VERY frequently. i dont know if the tingly numbness is because of me using the same veins to much or from hitting the wrong ones. can you tell me why my arm tingles and goes numb after i inject meth ?

Hi,
Thanks for writing to us,
Tingling sensation in the arm after an intravenous injection of methamphetamine or any other drug can be due to inadvertently injuring a nerve while injecting with the needle. The drug itself has no effects of numbing the arm after an intravenous administration. An intravenous injection is always given with utmost care and expertise in order to not develop complications which could be many.
It is advisable not to inject intravenously carelessly and it is suggested to abstain from substances like Meth to maintain a healthy lifestyle. This could be done by visiting a qualified psychiatrist for detoxification and rehabilitation. Hoe you take a wise decision.
Hope your query is answered,
