General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,
If you have been using crystal meth for 13 years then you certainly could have damaged your liver or kidneys and this can cause the swelling you describe. Please see a doctor as soon as possible for exam and blood tests. It is also possible that you have a blood clot in the left leg. Go to emergency if you can not see your doctor today.
